This webinar peeks beyond today’s predicaments and outlines constraints to economic growth, political union, and democratic legitimacy. The discussion blends the positive with the normative and includes a hefty dose of non-economic thinking.

While most MAPI member companies have well-developed U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act compliance programs in place, relatively recent anti-corruption developments in the United Kingdom, the BRIC countries, and elsewhere present an opportunity for companies to reexamine and reassess the adequacy of their compliance activities and to update as necessary their internal controls, corporate policies and practices, and self-policing mechanisms in light of these global developments. As enforcement authorities worldwide continue to expand their extraterritorial jurisdiction and cooperate with one another in anti-corruption campaigns, companies need to take a true global approach to their related compliance efforts
