Abstract

"On Corruption in America: And What Is at Stake" by Sarah Chayes is a book that examines the issue of corruption in the United States. Chayes argues that corruption undermines democracy and contributes to income inequality. She provides a broad definition of corruption, including any abuse of public office for personal gain. Chayes also draws historical analogies to the Gilded Age and discusses the influence of kleptocratic networks on politics and the judiciary. She offers suggestions for countering corruption, such as mass mobilization, holding individuals accountable, and focusing on local problems. Chayes emphasizes the importance of addressing corruption to protect democracy and promote equality. [Extracted from the article]

2. Corruption and controlling shareholders.

Abstract

Controlling shareholders have been directly involved in some of the largest and most consequential bribery scandals in the world over the course of the last decade. Nevertheless, the academic literature and the dominant international model of anticorruption law have neglected the dynamics and implications of controlling shareholder involvement in the payment of bribes. We argue that controlling shareholders, especially in family-controlled firms, may be uniquely positioned to lead corrupt schemes. We then analyze the incidence of this phenomenon in recent U.S. enforcement actions under the FCPA and in Brazilian enforcement actions under the Car Wash (Lava Jato) anticorruption operation. Controlled companies account for a minority of the FCPA cases, but for a large majority of the Brazilian cases. Controlling shareholders were implicated in a significant portion of actions against controlled companies in both contexts. We argue that the dominant international model, which is premised on organizational liability and incentives for compliance programs, is ill-suited to addressing cases of bribery led by controlling shareholders, and call for a distinct array of legal responses.

3. Shadow state structures and the threat to anti-corruption enforcement: evidence from Uzbekistan's telecommunications bribery scandal.

Author

Abstract

The role which corporate and financial secrecy vehicles play in enabling transnational corruption has justifiably received growing scholarly and policy interest. Less attention, however, has been given to the enabling role played by political secrecy vehicles. Political secrecy vehicles denote arrangements that allow individuals to clandestinely exercise public authority, which is concealed by a formal bureaucratic façade. This article develops analytical categories for deconstructing political secrecy structures and pinpointing the threat they pose to anti-corruption enforcement. These structures and threats are then empirically explored through an investigative case study. The case study plots how shadow political space in Uzbekistan and the simulacra of impartial public administration, was utilised by a kleptocratic syndicate to conceal an international bribery scheme, and then weaponised by the conspirators to successfully frustrate enforcement efforts in Europe. Drawing on key lessons from the case study, proposals are made for how the threats posed by political secrecy structures can be jurisprudentially and practically counteracted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

South Africa is facing a collapse of its public services and infrastructure due to widespread corruption and state capture. The Gupta family, along with other powerful individuals and companies, have looted billions of dollars from critical public services and economic institutions. The government's failure to hold anyone accountable for these crimes has led to a culture of impunity and a loss of faith in the public sector. As a result, demand for private alternatives is increasing, exacerbating inequality and leaving the majority of the population without access to quality public services. [Extracted from the article]
