Nikki J. Teo wins the 10th IBFD Frans Vanistendael Award
Today, Nikki J. Teo was announced as the winner of the 10th Frans
Vanistendael Award. Her winning publication was titled
“The United Nations in Global Tax
Coordination” which has been published by Cambridge
University Press.
The book by Nikki J. Teo is an impressive body of work. The
mapping of the history of the UN is done in such a detailed manner
using archival material, which has perhaps not seen the light of
day, so it is unique. While this kind of history is available for
the OECD, it is not so for the UN. This is a book that does not
merely narrate dry history but brings to life the drama, intrigue,
and the Cold War power play. It brings into sharp relief the
disappointment that developing countries were facing just as they
were emerging from centuries of colonial rule.
The analysis presents research of extremely high quality and
demonstrates the inseparability of international relations between
developed and developing states from wider considerations of
international political economy, global governance, and
development. This book will form the basis for any future research
on the UN, but more importantly, it also fills a knowledge gap in
the current global tax movement. It is also timely as the world tax
order is changing. It is a credible inciteful work which requires
recognition especially now.
For these reasons, the jury concluded that the publication
deserved to win the award, which was personally conferred by Rosa
Vanistendael, the widow of Frans Vanistendael.
