Abstract
Much has been written recently about the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and more specifically, the report of 22nd June, 2000, wherein a number of countries and territories were identified by the FATF as being non‐cooperative in the fight against money laundering. Also in the same month, the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) published a report, listing 35 jurisdictions considered to be operating harmful tax regimes. Additional reports have been produced by a number of other world organisations, and a host of publications have carried reports and articles in which countries have been named, and effectively shamed in this respect. Many of those named countries happen to be situated within the Caribbean.

Abstract
In a diverse society, empathy would intuitively seem to represent a powerful force for social good. In particular, we expect empathic people to tolerate (rather than reject) attitudes that might be different from their own, and to resolve and/or avoid (rather than escalate) potential disagreements with others. Some research supports this benign view of empathy, but somewhat surprisingly, there is a “dark” side to empathy, one that can sometimes exacerbate attitudinal conflict. That is, empathy can often be parochial, in the sense that people are inclined to reserve their compassion for others only when they are deemed to be worthy of such support. In this chapter we review classic and contemporary research on the light and dark side of empathy, and consider its implications for the kinds of dynamics that could potentially emerge when people encounter people and ideas that are different from their own.

Abstract
Information is power — so it has been said — and nowhere has this statement been realised more significantly than in the banking industry. IT and banking in the 1990s and going forward to the next millennium are tightly bonded. It is now more difficult to determine whether business drives technology or the other way round. Given this scenario, one of the most important facets of managing IT in a bank is that of information security.
