en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 aug 2024
Combating corruption and the misuse of public office appears to be a never-ending fight. The fourth edition of this authoritative work aims to equip legal practitioners and anti-corruption activists with the latest guidance and tools to keep the forces of corruption and the misuse of public office in the UK and across the globe at bay.Fully revised and updated to cover relevant case law and fast-moving developments in both domestic and international spheres, the book's wide-ranging coverage of topics includes: examination of sector specific initiatives; expanded coverage of the FCPA; civil and criminal mechanisms for recovering the proceeds of corruption; and new material on setting standards in the public and private sector. Apart from thorough UK coverage, this new edition also covers the laws and regulations of overseas jurisdictions including China, Canada, the UAE, and developing countries such as Kenya and Nigeria. The book considers the broadening scope of corruption and its intersection with questions of integrity in public life and examines lobbying and the move towards open government.Written by leading practitioners with extensive experience of handling corruption cases, the book provides a clear exposition of the current law. It examines the legal and practical issues relating to the investigation and prosecution of corruption cases and includes coverage of specialist areas such as recovering the proceeds of corruption.Corruption cases often span jurisdictions. This book enables practitioners to handle any aspect of a corruption case by providing them with detailed analysis of the international efforts to combat corruption, and the legal developments taking place in key jurisdictions and regions covered by UN, EU, OECD, the Commonwealth, and other regional anti-corruption initiatives.

Recenzii

The Fourth Edition establishes this work as far more than a textbook for the practising lawyer. It provides a global view of the evils of the different forms of corruption, and the steps being taken by at least some countries to address these, of much wider general interest, as are the series of international case studies that make fascinating reading.
