Confronting Corruption: Past Concerns, Present Challenges, and Future Strategies de Fritz Heimann

Confronting Corruption: Past Concerns, Present Challenges, and Future Strategies

Autor Fritz Heimann, Mark Pieth
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 ian 2018

Descoperim în Confronting Corruption un model de analiză pragmatic, construit pe ideea că transparența radicală, impusă de globalizare și comunicațiile digitale, reprezintă singura cale viabilă pentru erodarea secretomaniei specifice actelor de corupție. Autorii nu se limitează la o expunere teoretică, ci propun un cadru de acțiune pentru următorul deceniu, fundamentat pe evaluarea succeselor și, mai ales, a eșecurilor programelor internaționale demarate după Războiul Rece. Reținem abordarea lor asupra modului în care corupția subminează nu doar economia, ci și protecția mediului sau drepturile omului, oferind o perspectivă integrată asupra securității globale.

Remarcăm rigoarea cu care Fritz Heimann și Mark Pieth disecă mecanismele mituiri comerciale internaționale și ale alegerilor fraudate. Stilul este unul autoritar, susținut de experiența vastă a autorilor în prima linie a acestei lupte. Dacă The Internationalisation of Corruption de Clare Fletcher v-a oferit cadrul teoretic și sociologic al fenomenului, această carte publicată de Oxford University Press oferă instrumentele practice și strategiile diferențiate necesare pentru a trece de la diagnoză la reformă. Lectura dezvăluie cum noile tehnologii pot echilibra terenul de joc, transformând supravegherea publică într-un mecanism de control mai eficient decât tratatele diplomatice clasice. Este o analiză esențială pentru înțelegerea modului în care competiția corectă în comerțul global poate fi restaurată prin politici de integritate adaptate erei digitale.

Despre autor

Fritz Heimann și Mark Pieth sunt recunoscuți la nivel internațional drept piloni ai mișcării globale împotriva corupției.

Expertiza lor combinată acoperă atât elaborarea de politici publice, cât și implementarea practică a standardelor de integritate în afaceri, oferind lucrării o autoritate incontestabilă în domeniul legislației penale și al guvernanței globale.

Descriere

Corruption undermines nearly all key legal and developmental priorities today, including the effective functioning of democratic institutions and honest elections; environmental protection; human rights and human security; international development programs; and fair competition for global trade and investment. This book chronicles the global anticorruption steps taken since the movement advanced after the end of the Cold War. It provides a realistic assessment of the present state of affairs by critically evaluating what existing anticorruption programs and treaties have accomplished and documenting their shortcomings, while developing an action agenda for the next decade. The authors argue that reformative action is imperative, and the forces of globalization and digital communication will level the playing field and erode the secrecy corruption requires. They define corruption, document its effects, discuss the initiatives that changed public perception, analyze the lessons learned, and then evaluate how to move forward with existing initiatives charting a new path with new, differentiated strategies.

Recenzii

In this illuminating book, Fritz Heimann and Mark Pieth do not only capture the magnitude of corruption and the evolution of the resistance against it, they also reveal the personal lessons they learned while being at the heartbeat of the anti-corruption agenda. They take us with them on a journey behind the façade of massive international institutions and grant us a glance at the inner workings of key policy makers and leading non-governmental organizations." From the Foreword by Jimmy Carter
Fritz Heimann and Mark Pieth have combined their vast wisdom, brilliant legal skills, and practical experience to write this important book Confronting Corruption. They were actively involved when I founded Transparency International (TI), and I worked closely with both as our transparency concept achieved world-wide usage. This book captures in a vivid language the highlights and complexities of corruption issues, as well as the successes and occasional backsliding of the global fight against the cancer of corruption." Prof. Dr. Peter Eigen, Founder of Transparency International
Two decades ago, I met two amazing gentlemen: Mark Pieth, a renowned professor of criminal law and Fritz Heimann, a top grade corporate lawyer. Mark brought to the fight against corruption his scientific expertise of the phenomenon and Fritz, a deep understanding of the corporate world. Here, they provide a rare insight into the most corrosive human behavior of our time: corruption." Akere Muna (Of Lincoln's Inn, London), Barrister-at-law, Sanctions Commissioner of the African Development Bank
A fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at the global anti-corruption movement by two practical idealists who were present at the creation and who have been anchors of the effort. A comprehensive and insightful overview of the accomplishments and frustrations of advocacy with realistic proposals for reform." Prof. Dr. Susan Rose-Ackermann, Yale Law School
