Scholarly Paper aus dem Jahr 2002 im Fachbereich Politik - Int. Politik - Thema: Sonstiges, einseitig bedruckt, Note: 2 (B), Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (Geschwister-Scholl-Institute for Political Science), Veranstaltung: Corruption as a phenomenon of international relations, 28 Eintragungen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Englisch, Anmerkungen: In recent years, global awareness of corruptive practices or rather corruption as such has increased enormously. In the past few years corruption in the political scenes such as scandals, immoral practices, etc., to name just a few, comes into light for the public. However, corruption does not exist only in the politics but frankly corruption is everywhere. , Abstract: The objection of this study, loosely, is to identify the causes and effects of corruption in international business transactions, the meaning of (corruption in) international business transactions and how can we detect, prevent, minimise or even resolve the problems. Thesis question: Is corruption in international business transactions an accepted norm that is tolerated globally? How has it come to be so, what harms has it done and what can we do about it?
