[…] and Tajikistan. The NGOs profiled in the book nurture democratic values by engaging in projects such as setting up local radio stations and talking to police about human rights. Melton, pictured above, is also a contributor to the anthology Combating Corruption: Political Corruption in Comparative Perspective, forthcoming from Ashgate. She has said, “Combating corruption […]
China’s netizens have a new favorite pastime: the “human flesh search,” in which microbloggers band together to unearth, research, and publicize evidence of apparent misconduct by officials.
[…] minister denied the allegations and threatened to sue two Aussie newspapers that reported them — The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald. Brad Adams, Asia director of Human Rights Watch, said in a statement: “Blocking a website and threatening critics with prosecution will not make the firestorm over alleged government corruption go away.” Malaysia’s […]
[…] an understanding based on behavioral science. That might be considered a “substantive” use. The other is more procedural in nature — using what science tells us about human behavior to design better internal procedures. Studies relevant to both aspects of risk assessment have shown that individuals tend to optimistically predict their own future moral […]

But so too does the FCPA reflect a conviction — that corruption is not inherent in human society, that it can be addressed, and that it can be addressed through law. We know that no culture affirmatively endorses corruption, in principle, as a […]
[…] some of their related firms for bribery that allegedly occurred under the United Nations oil-for-food program. Referring to the U.N. program as “the largest financial fraud in human history,” the 47-page complaint seeks more than $10 billion in damages. Many of the defendants named in the complaint — which relies heavily on the U.N.’s […]
[…] is useless and vice versa. We have made great strides in our use of various analytics tools that can spot anomalies faster and more accurately than fallible human beings can. But these advances cannot obviate the need for pathologically suspicious, deeply skeptical human beings who can sense when things are not as they should […]
