Dates: Oct. 27, 2006

Description

Sponsored by the Global Center for Business & Development sponsored the symposium titled Rethinking Corruption: An Interdisciplinary Look at a Fundamental Problem.

Questions Addressed

  • Does corruption matter in today’s globalized economy?
  • Or has it been overtaken by money laundering and terrorism as the central focus of international business regulation?
  • Did it ever matter?
  • Do current regulatory responses deter or contain corruption?
  • Are enforcement and compliance actions effective in impeding corruption?

The leaders in international economic development theory, international business regulation, and transnational corporate practice offered thoughts and rethoughts on the impact of corruption on development, contemporary national and multilateral responses, the current state of play — and concrete recommendations for effective deterrence.
