This article explores research by John Urry (2013) on the sociological significance of offshoring. Knowledge of this research would be useful when writing about stratification, globalisation and crime.
Offshoring generally refers to the relocation of part of a company’s operations to another country, but Urry uses it more widely to describe ‘moving resources, practices, peoples and money from one national territory to another, but then hiding them in order to evade laws, regulations, taxes or simply disapproval by others’.
