Disertacinio darbo temos aktualumas. Statistiniai duomenys, leidžiantys teigti, kad korupcinių veikų mastas Lietuvoje mažas, prieštarauja sociologinių tyrimų rezultatams, anot kurių, korupcijos faktų Lietuvoje yra labai daug , kas reikalauja šio reiškinio mokslinės analizės. Temos aktualumą grindžia ir korupcijos reiškiniui būdingas latentiškumas, šio reiškinio dinamika, formų, pasireiškimo sričių, subjektų, dalyko kaita, be to, tikslios ir aiškios korupcijos sąvokos, kurią būtų lengviau taikyti teisėkūroje, viešojo administravimo institucijų praktikoje, ją geriau suvoktų visuomenė, lengviau būtų deramai taikyti antikorupcinius įstatymus, stoka. Atsižvelgiant į tai, kad formuojant teisinės sistemos modelį, svarbiausios yra teisės sampratos, teisės doktrinos problemos, disertacijoje pabrėžiama, kad, visų pirma, kuriant nacionalinę antikorupcinių įstatymų bazę ir teisės normose apibrėžiant korupcines veikas, negalima apsiriboti vien tik teisės aktų keitimu kitais, o būtina išsiaiškinti žmonių teisinio mąstymo principus, visuomenės vertybių sistemą ir kriterijus, ir tik po to pereiti prie socialinių reiškinių objektyvizacijos ribų nustatymo teisės normose ir jų įgyvendinimo. Atitinkamai disertacijos įvade konstatuojama, kad efektyvinant korupcinio pobūdžio nusikalstamų veikų tyrimą, ypatingas dėmesys turi būti skiriamas kriminalistikos mokslui, nes suvokimas, jog korupcija yra sudėtinga socialinė, ekonominė, politinė, teisinė, kultūrinė, moralinė problema, kurią reikia spręsti...

The statistical data allowing stating that the extent of corruption acts is small in Lithuania disagree with the results of the sociology researches according to which there are a lot of facts of corruption in Lithuania , what requires the scientific analysis of this phenomenon. The relevance of the topic is grounded by the latency which is characteristic to corruption, dynamics of this phenomenon, the change of the forms, manifestation spheres and the subject, besides, the lack of the adequate and lucid concept of corruption which could be easier applied in the legislation and the practice of the institutions of public administration, and which could be easier perceived by the society and it would be easier to apply properly anti-corruption laws. In respect that when forming the model of the legal system, the most important are the law concepts, the problems of law doctrine, it is emphasized in the dissertation that, first of all, when creating the national base of the anti-corruption laws and determining the corruption acts in the rules of law, we should not restrict ourselves only to the change of legal acts, but it is necessary to find out the principles of people’s legal thinking, the value system and the criteria of the society, and only then pass on to the determination of the materialization limits of social phenomena in the rules of law and their implementation. Respectively, it is stated in the introduction of... [to full text]

A expansão econômico-financeira do mercado, com a presença global das TNCs, dá a tônica da sociedade contemporânea, na qual, atividades sociais, políticas e econômicas adquirem facilmente uma dimensão mundial. Nesse sentido, eventos, decisões e atividades ocorridas em uma determinada localidade, quase que imediatamente, impactam a vida de indivíduos e comunidades em outras partes do globo, ainda que muito distantes geograficamente. Isso pode ser exemplificado pelas repercussões da recente crise econômica na Europa, nos Estados Unidos e em outros centros de pujança financeira, e que, em parte, foram desencadeadas por atos de corrupção. Dentro desse contexto, a bidimensionalidade clássica que contrapõe o Direito Internacional em ramos do DIP e do DIPr não é suficiente para compreender a conjuntura das situações atuais. Para tanto, a Transnational Law une o Direito Internacional Público e Direito Internacional Privado com novos temas do direito, tais como: Direito Administrativo Internacional, o Direito do Desenvolvimento Econômico, Direitos Humanos e as regras aplicáveis às empresas transnacionais, que passam a ser consideradas como atores do sistema internacional. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho busca contextualizar, por meio da perspectiva da interdependência, o tema da responsabilidade das TNCs e dos investimentos dentro da ciência do Direito, contrapondo com o tema da corrupção, sua agenda global e seus efeitos nefastos. Com efeito, deu-se prioridade à análise do esforço internacional no combate à corrupção (tratados internacionais, leis, inclusive com efeitos extraterritoriais, e outras legislações internacionais com natureza de soft-law), para ao final comentar acerca das particularidades do Brasil quanto ao tema. / The financial-economic market growth, with the global presence of the TNCs, represents the most of the contemporary society, in which social, political and economic activities easialy acquire a worldwide dimension. In these sense, events, decisions and activities ocorred in a certain place, almost imediately, impact the live of individuals and comunities in other parts of the globe, even in the distant parts. That fact may be exemplified by the repercussions of the current economic crises in Europe, United States and other big economic centers, which was caused, in part, by corruption scandals. Within this context, the classical division that opposes the International Law in two subjects (Public International Law and Private International Law) is no longer suficient to understand current situations that poses to humanity. Thereunto, the Transnational Law unites both Public and Private International Law with new themes of Law, such as: International Administrative Law, Economic Development Law, Human Rights and rules applied to the TNCs, which are considered actors in the international system. Accordingly, this paper seeks to contextualize, through an interdependence perspective, issues such as the TNC`s responsibility, and Investment Law, opposing with the issue of corruption, its global agenda, and adverse effects. Indeed, we prioritized the analysis of the international effort in the fight agaisnt corruption (international treaties, laws, including the ones with extraterritorial effects, as well as other soft-law international legislation). Finally, we make brief comment about Brazils particularities.

Magister Legum - LLM (Criminal Justice and Procedure) / Corruption is a global problem, which poses a serious threat to the development of countries and their people. Although its impact varies, all nations are facing the evils of corruption and, therefore, the international community calls upon states to take preventive and deterrent measures against corruption. For example, the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) and the African Union Convention on Preventing and Combating Corruption (AU Convention) obligate their member states to have both legal and institutional frameworks for effectively fighting corruption.

This study sought to articulate the constructs corruption and governance, to support research to adopt governance practices contributes in the fight against corruption in sport. Having as object the athletics, athletes and coaches were asked about how effective these measures would be, in your opinion, if adopted by the national body sport administration to which they are affiliated. In addition to this question at the operational level, it was also prepared a checklist, based on the survey of Marques and Costa (2009) and documentary analysis of the organization, which was confronted by the administrative direction of the organization, representing the strategic level of athletics. At the same time, it was also asked to athletes and coaches, their degree of permissiveness to corrupt actions as Lavena (2013) protocol. The study used the qualitative method at a stage in advance, exploratory and quantitative in the following, descriptive character. The collected data were treated by analysis of variance to find significance in the effectiveness of the actions and are described and presented in the results, which showed that between governance dimensions, only three of them (ownership, board of directors and independent audit) figured degree of statistical significance needed to be considered effective in combating certain corrupt actions in the sport, according to the procedure used, in the opinion of the athletes and coaches of athletics in the sample under the conditions tested in this study. / Comportamentos éticos são de grande importância na condução de negócios entre quaisquer empresas e são essenciais à própria interação entre os indivíduos na sociedade, em que ocorrem os comportamentos corruptos, que podem ser assim considerados não legítimos do ponto de vista ético e por isso, combatidos, inclusive no esporte. Esse trabalho procurou articular os construtos corrupção e governança, para apoiar a investigação se a adoção de práticas de governança contribui no combate à corrupção no esporte. Tendo como objeto o atletismo, atletas e técnicos foram inquiridos sobre quão efetivas seriam essas medidas, em sua opinião, se adotadas pela entidade nacional de administração do esporte a que estão filiados. Além desse questionamento ao nível operacional, também foi elaborado um checklist, baseado no levantamento de Marques e Costa (2009) e análise documental da entidade, que foi confrontado pela direção administrativa da entidade, representando o nível estratégico do atletismo. Paralelamente, também foi inquirido aos atletas e técnicos, seu grau de permissividade a ações corruptas, conforme protocolo de Lavena (2013). O estudo utilizou o método qualitativo numa fase a priori, exploratória e o quantitativo na seguinte, de caráter descritivo. Os dados levantados foram tratados por análise de variância para buscar significância na efetividade das ações e são descritos e apresentados nos resultados, que demonstraram que entre as dimensões de governança, apenas três delas (propriedade, Conselho de Administração e auditoria independente) figuraram com grau de significância estatístico necessário para serem consideradas efetivas no combate a determinadas ações corruptas no esporte, de acordo com o procedimento utilizado, na opinião dos atletas e técnicos de atletismo que compuseram a amostra, nas condições testadas neste estudo.

Dans cette recherche, nous avons étudié le processus de constitution symbolique du « Mensalão », l’un des plus importants événements de l’histoire politique récente du Brésil, qui a eu lieu en 2005 et montre l’implication de membres du Parti des Travailleurs et du gouvernement Lula dans des dénonciations liées à la corrption, avec une grande répercussion, dans le pays, auprès du public et des médias. Nous avons plus particulièrement cherché à identifier la façon selon laquelle le « Mensalão » est individualisé, prenant ainsi une signification et une identité en tant qu’événement singulier. Nous sommes partis de l’approche de l’événemnt proposée par Louis Quéré (1997; 2005). Nous en avons retiré la grille analytique afin d’étudier le processus d’individualisation du « Mensalão », qui a été appliquée sur un corpus de 1269 textes journalistiques. Nous avons analysé : 1) la description, qui révèle la dispute entre les acteurs par la définition et le cadrage de l’événement ; 2) le récit, qui montre les principaux protagonistes et les différents passés et futurs convoqués pour l’événement ; 3) la dimension pragmatique, avec les actions constituantes de cet événement; 4) la commercialisation du soutien politique et la pratique de fonds secrets électoraux comme principaux problèmes publics exposés, la façon selon laquelle ils sont traités et comment les cadrages conditionnent le traitement du problème; et 5) la normalisation de l’événement à travers la mise en cause de certains des impliqués dans les dénonciations. La radiographie de la mis en récit et de la normalisation de l’événement montre comment les problèmes publics révélés ont été dilués dans la personnalisation du problème de la corruption. / In this research we analyze the process of symbolic constitution of “Mensalão” (a scandal of corruption of members of the Congress by the main governmental party), one of the most important occurrences of the recent political history of Brazil, which happened in 2005. We try to identify, more specifically, the way it is individualized by getting a meaning and an identity as a singular event. We get support in the approach of the event proposed by Louis Quéré (1997; 2005) and take from it the analytical tools to study the “Mensalão”: the description, the narration, the pragmatic dimension, the public issues exposed, and the normalization of the event. We apply this analytical framework over a cluster of 1,269 journalistic texts, which were selected from the covering made by the Folha de São Paulo newspaper between June and December of 2005. Through a qualitative analysis of the written material, we identify and analyze the process of individualization of the “Mensalão”: 1) the description, which reveals, among other aspects, the dispute between the actors for the framing of the happening; 2) the narration, which indicates the main protagonists and shows the different pasts and futures called by this happening; 3) the pragmatic dimension, with all the actions that constitute this type of occurrence; 4) the trade of political support and the practice of unofficial financial support for elections as the main public issues exposed, the way they are treated by the actors and the way the mobilized framings guides the treatment of the issue; and 5) the normalization of the happening through “punishment” of some of those who are accused. The enlightening of the construction of the narrative and of the normalization of the occurrence show how the public issues were diluted in the personification of the problem of corruption.

La lutte contre la corruption constitue, depuis une vingtaine d'année, une priorité, tant pour les États que du point de vue international. D'abord, fondée sur le blanchiment de capitaux, notamment issus de trafics de stupéfiants et du terrorisme, la lutte contre la corruption tend désormais à devenir autonome. Le secteur bancaire et financier par lequel transitent des flux financiers licites et illicites, et qui a subi des crises et scandales considérables dans les dernières années, paraît susceptible d'être le réceptacle d'opérations de corruption, sans pour autant que cette question n'ait été ni pensée, ni ait formé véritablement le socle d'une action résolue des instances internationales et nationales. Il devenait, dès lors, nécessaire de s'interroger sur le système d'intégrité bancaire et financier (SIBF), dans ses versants préventif et répressif. Il en est ressorti que ce dernier, à l'instigation d'organisations internationales et consécutivement à des traumatismes politiques et financiers, a subi en quelques années une importante évolution. Ce développement a conduit, d'abord, au renforcement des dispositifs de prévention dans les établissements bancaires et financiers. Il a, ensuite, offert de nouvelles ressources au système judiciaire, par exemple, à travers le procureur de la République financier et l'enrichissement de ses méthodes d'enquêtes. Le SIBF, cependant, éprouve des difficultés graves pour contrer efficacement les menaces de la corruption qui restent en mouvement constant. Aussi conviendrait-il que les pouvoirs publics mettent résolument en œuvre des politiques publiques fortes dans le domaine, qui pourraient s'inspirer des propositions formulées à la fin de cette thèse. / For about twenty years, on a State and international basis, the fight against corruption has constituted a priority. Originally based on money laundering, essentially from drug trafficking and terrorism, the fight against corruption is nowadays tending to become autonomous. In the past years, the banking and financial sector, transited by lawful and illicit financial flows, has not been able to avoid considerable crises and scandals. This sector seems to be a haven for corruption operations ; though, this question has never really been taken into account, nor being thought as to form a common base for a resolute international and national response. It then becomes necessary to wonder about the banking and financial integrity system (SIBF), in both its preventive and repressive sides. At the instigation of international organisations and responsivly to political and financial traumatisms, the SIBF has undertaken a tremendous development. This evolution led, first, to the strengthening of the prevention mechanisms in the banking and financial institutions. It also offered new developments for the judiciary means, such as the instauration of the national financial prosecutor and the enrichment of his means of investigation. However, the SIBF presents serious difficulties for efficiently countering the constantly moving and evolving corruption threats. It would be then necessary that the concerned authorities implement resolutely strong public policies in this domain, which could be inspired by the proposals formulated at the end of this thesis.

Corruption as a contemporary phenomenon attracts attention of laymen but also experts who are trying to define this notion on the basis of various criterions. The aim of this thesis is to theoretically define corruption as the attendant phenomenon of the current society and to analyze methods of its solution. The studied country is Slovak republic which as a post-communist country shows some specifics. There are many proposed ways how to solve the problem of corruption however this thesis concerns itself primarily with the role of non-government organizations and their ability to actually influence political acts concerned with restricting of corruption possibilities. The intense cooperation among these non-government organizations and especially their cooperation with the government is crucial in order to be able to influence the political agenda. Therefore this thesis deals with this non-government organizations -- government relationship as well.

Countries with rich natural resource endowments suffer from lower economic growth and various other ills. This work tests whether the resource curse also extends to the quality of regulation and the level of corruption. A theoretical framework is developed that informs the specification of interactive random effects models. A cross-national panel data set is used to estimate these models. Due to multicollinearity, only an effect of metals and ores exports on corruption can be discerned. Marginal effects computations show that whether nature corrupts or not crucially depends on a country's institutions. A broad tax base and high levels of education appear to serve as inoculations for countries against the side-effects of mineral wealth.
