Anti-corruption is one of the preeminent issues in the modern global commercial order, and is tackled with the help of criminal law and contract law in different ways in different countries. The reports included in this volume, from very diverse parts of the world, represent a unique and rich compilation of court decisions, doctrinal discussions and a pool of suggested solutions. The central theme is the enforceability of three problematic types of contracts: the bribe agreement, whereby a bribe payer promises the agent of his business partner a personal benefit in exchange for favourable contract terms; the agreement between a bribe payer and an intermediary (a "bribe merchant"), where the latter offers his expertise to help funnel bribes to agents of the business partner; and, finally, the contract between the bribe payer and his business partner which was obtained by means of bribery. The analysis is tailored toward commercial contracts, which can also include contracts with state-owned enterprises. The examination and comparison of international and national initiatives included in this volume advance the discussion on the most appropriate remedies in corruption cases, and show how to get past the boundaries of criminal, private and contract law. 650 0 $a Corruption $x Law and legislation $v Congresses. 650 0 $a International trade $x Corrupt practices $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Contracts (International law) $x Corrupt practices $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Foreign trade regulation $v Congresses. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008104033 650 7 $a Contracts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00876969 650 7 $a Corruption $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01920497 700 1 $a Bonell, Michael Joachim, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n88070768 700 1 $a Meyer, Olaf, $d 1973- $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2008027648 830 0 $a Ius comparatum ; $v v. 11. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2014030072 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171220042623.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CF759C5AE55411E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
