The piece raises an important question: if enforcement is perceived as selective, what does this mean for the credibility of international antibribery commitments?

This contribution by BridgeGap consortium members adds to the broader debate on integrity, reciprocity, and economic governance.

How Washington Is Weaponizing Anticorruption Law The era of neutral enforcement is over.

In a new article in Foreign Affairs Magazine, Lorenzo Crippa, Edmund J. Malesky, and Lucio Picci analyse recent shifts in the enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and their implications for the global anticorruption regime.

#Transparency is everywhere in accountability and anti-corruption debates, yet measuring it in a meaningful and comparable way remains a real challenge.

It examines how integrity frameworks operate and sometimes fail, across five high-risk sectors: defence, critical infrastructure, healthcare, sport, and banking.

Wishing our community a restful holiday break.
