The book "Imposing Standards: The North-South Dimension to Global Tax Politics" by Martin Hearson explores the impact of international tax policies on developing countries. The author argues that the current system of double taxation agreements between developed and developing countries is unfair and undermines the ability of developing countries to collect taxes. The book also examines the role of international organizations and the influence of multinational corporations in shaping tax policies. The author suggests that a more equitable approach to global tax politics is needed to ensure that developing countries can benefit from globalization and reduce the gap between rich and poor.
