Bad Company - Global Corruption: Causes and Responses

Event Description
BAD COMPANY: CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE NEW GLOBAL UNDERWORLD
Crime pays, and criminals are actors on the world stage whose powerful (if often hidden) role in the modern world has yet to be fully understood. Criminals run globe-spanning businesses that supply narcotics, trafficked people, and illegal services. They arm insurgents and destabilize governments. They bypass national and international regulations on everything from financial transactions to environmental standards. Professor Mark Galeotti, CGA academic chair and an expert on transnational and organized crime, hosts a series of conversations with scholars and security analysts that illuminate the workings of the global underworld: what it does, how it does it, and what this means for us all.

GLOBAL CORRUPTION: CAUSES AND RESPONSES
Laurence Cockroft, co-founder, Transparency International; author, Global Corruption

Corruption has played a pivotal role in determining the current state of the world, driving the over-exploitation of
natural resources and capturing their value for a small elite – whether timber from Indonesia or coltan from the Congo. In the process, it retards development and funds conflicts. In the developed world, corrupt party funding undermines political systems and lays policy-making open to heavy financial lobbying. How far is corruption the product of the interplay between elite ‘embedded networks’, greed and organized crime? Has corruption been facilitated by globalization, the integration of new and expanding markets into the world economy, and by the rapid expansion of ‘offshore’ financial facilities? How can it be controlled?
