Transnational Corruption and Corporations: Regulating Bribery through Corporate Liability

by Simeon Obidairo

Overview

This book examines two particular constraints operating on the regulation of transnational corruption in general and bribery in particular. Firstly, it explores the limits of international cooperation in the regulation of transnational corruption and highlights the disparities between the capacities of individual states to pursue adequate regulation. Secondly, the book examines the liability regime for corporations and again, highlights an unexpected shortcoming of multilateral policy in the administration and enforcement of international agreements.

Editorial Reviews

Classified as 'Research Essential' by Baker & Taylor YBP Library Services ’Many books are written about corruption. The difference here is the enormous scope and coverage, in terms of the many countries and cases covered. The book succeeds in conveying the important message that corruption is an international scourge and that combatting it requires global strategies and strong national integrity systems.’ Arthur Shacklock, Griffith University, Australia
