Corruption Conference

If you happen to be in Northern California at the end of the week, Pacific-McGeorge is putting on a conference on corruption.  (Update:  You may be able to get a better seat if you slip the conference organizer a few bucks)  Here are some of the details (more can be found here):

Does corruption matter in today’s globalized economy? Or has it been overtaken by money laundering and terrorism as the central focus of international business regulation? Did it ever matter? Do current regulatory responses deter or contain corruption? Are enforcement and compliance actions effective in impeding corruption?

Leaders in international economic development theory, international business regulation, and transnational corporate practice will offer thoughts and re-thoughts on the impact of corruption on development, contemporary national and multilateral responses, the current state of play - and concrete recommendations for effective deterrence.
