Corruption : the general debate -- Regulating bribery -- Multilateral regulation of transnational bribery -- Selected challenges in the regulation of transnational bribery : a case study of the OFFP -- Limits of national regulation : liability regime for corporations -- Liability for bribery within the agency framework of the contracts theory.

This book examines two particular constraints operating on the regulation of transnational corruption in general and bribery in particular. Firstly, it explores the limits of international cooperation in the regulation of transnational corruption and highlights the disparities between the capacities of individual states to pursue adequate regulation. Secondly, the book examines the liability regime for corporations and again, highlights an unexpected shortcoming of multilateral policy in the administration and enforcement of international agreements.
