Transnational corruption - regulation across borders (pdf 312Kb)

The global upsurge of interest in corruption has led to the growth of anti-corruption instruments in international law. Such legal responses to corruption can be divided into 3 groups:

  • Formal international legal instruments by organisations such as the UN and OECD
  • National bureaucratic agencies cooperating across borders to enforce national anti-corruption laws
  • NGOs such as Transparency International

The purpose of this paper is to summarise modern regulatory literature, particularly regarding corporate behaviour, and draw lessons for the development of the international anti-corruption legal regime.
