Worldwide, governmental anti-corruption efforts have been ramping up like never before. From the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") to the U.K. Bribery Act and recent Chinese, French, Indonesian, Brazilian, and German anti-bribery legislations, the compliance world has witnessed the fight against corruption rocketing to the top of most law reform and enforcement agendas. As the fight against corruption goes global, practitioners of the compliance, regulatory, and investigative space must understandand--and more importantly navigate--these increasingly complicated and often perilous compliance waters. With that heavy reality in mind, this first-of-its-kind book draws on the real-world experience and expertise possessed by some of the world's leading anti-corruption and anti-bribery practitioners to make meeting that challenge easier. Featuring country-specific chapters and practitioner-focused "how to" modules, From Baksheesh to Bribery serves as a one-stop shop for practitioners, in-house counsel, compliance personnel, academics, and others who want--and often need--to understand the world's perspective on corruption and the fight against it.

Reviews
[T]the authors and editors of From Baksheesh to Bribery have put together a volume that accomplishes two main tasks. Firstly, it initiates a discussion of the various approaches to anticorruption legislation and enforcement at the domestic level. Second, it provides practical guidance for practitioners who seek to ensure compliance within their company, investigate charges of bribery and corruption, or defend their company from such charges, particularly in the US. In this way, the book adds to the global literature on anti-corruption particularly in relation to compliance and enforcement. Its practical and easy-to-digest guidance makes it an ideal desk resource for practitioners in the anticorruption field. While it will indeed be interesting to see how anticorruption enforcement evolves over the next years, through this contribution, the authors and editors give us a solid glimpse into where we are now. * Raquel Saavedra, Max Planck Yearbook of United Nations Law Online *
