Publisher Synopsis
Transnational bribery is a serious global problem, but as Kevin Davis argues, in his provocative and wide ranging critique, domestic and international law enforcement is often misdirected. Different societies have distinctive vulnerabilities that are not reflected in present-day enforcement priorities. A more effective response would look beyond prevention and deterrence to assess the costs and benefits of alternative strategies in diverse settings. * Susan Rose -Ackerman, Henry R. Luce Professor Emeritus of Law and Political Science, Yale University * Kevin Davis has written a truly unconventional book, he dares put in question the established U.S. and OECD standards against foreign bribery. He makes it clear that we are fighting foreign bribery in our own interest. All believers in the U.S. FCPA and in the OECD Convention on foreign bribery should read this book. * Mark Pieth, Professor of Criminal Law and Criminology, University of Basel * No other book on corruption that I know of zeroes in on the questions of how to combat foreign bribery in our times in such a thoughtful and comprehensive way. Not only should every prosecutor and international organization official engaged in the fight against transnational bribery read this book, but so should anyone who is interested in the policy issues or has had a brush with the current system from a private sector vantage point. * Lucinda Low, Partner, Steptoe & Johnson * Read more...
