Coordinating self-enforcement of national actors against transnational bribery / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collection

January 2015 (has links)
The enactment of the FCPA and the formation of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention created two historical events for theoretical analysis: because the FCPA unprecedentedly criminalized transnational bribery in 1977, its wisdom was initially questioned. Then, since the Convention endorsed the FCPA approach in 1997, academic focus was shifted to the practical effect of the Convention in controlling transnational bribery-—which is also the topic of this study. / This study develops argument based on an awareness of the limitation of a popular methodology in current literature-—the problem-solving paradigm. This paradigm is grounded in the rational-choice tradition, assumes signatories’ enforcement of the Convention as resulting from their self-serving purposes, labels the current level of Convention enforcement as “ineffective-enforcement”, and borrows solutions from conventional collective action theories to prescribe. This paradigm well explains why most signatories have brought few enforcement actions. Yet its excessive commitment to orthodoxies prevents scholars from grasping the uniqueness of the collaboration and prescribing successful solutions. Besides, it avoids explaining why some signatories have indeed enforced the Convention. A historical approach that draws causality from a process’s historicity is thus proposed as a supplementary methodology. / This study analyzes signatories’ compliance with the Convention by four steps: First, it explains a seemingly outdated but unexplained question—the dynamic of the institutionalization of the OECD anti-bribery collaboration, and finds that the central institutions did not result from signatories’ trading off conflicting values and interests, but from their attempts to coordinate demands of different stakeholders within given institutional contexts. / Second, this study explains why most signatories tend to defect rather than faithfully enforce the Convention, following the logic of the problem-solving paradigm: destabilizing factors in the indigenous collaboration encourage defection in the first place, and the monitoring program in the collaboration fails to resolve these destabilizing factors in the second place. More fundamentally, the surreptitious nature of transnational bribery fails central monitoring—a conventional effective solution to collective action problems. / This study then formulates a three-level solution model to address the monitoring problem: first, this model encourages private sector actors to report clues of transnational bribery so as to resolve the lack of first-hand information. Second, given the weakness of private sector actors in collecting solid evidence, this model stresses the dominant role of national prosecutors in the home country of bribe-paying companies to conduct in-depth investigations. Third, given that prosecutors may shirk duty because of protectionism, this model suggests to authorize prosecutors in the home country of victimized competitors the right to monitor the investigation process. / Forth, this study takes the US as an example to analyze the positive side of Convention enforcement. Given that FCPA enforcement is embodied in the SEC and the DOJ’s independent performance of their own statutory duties, this study reviews variation in the SEC and the DOJ’s enforcement efforts in past decades, and finds that this variation results from their adherence to their own missions in an evolving institutional context—which gradually incorporates their duties of enforcing the FCPA into their central missions. / 美国的《反海外贿赂法》和世界经合组织的《关于反对在国际商务活动中贿赂外国公务人员行为的公约》(《公约》)为学界提供了两个重要课题:《反海外贿赂法》开创性地将跨国商业贿赂规定为犯罪,其合理性曾饱受质疑;《公约》将《反海外贿赂法》的精神推广到其他国家后,学界进而关注其执行效果,并提供政策建言—此亦是本文的论题。 / 本文的论述建立在对学界的“问题导向型”研究范式批判继承的基础之上:该范式植根理性主义传统,假定国家决策的自利属性,将《公约》的执行现状拟制为“非有效执行”,并试图从传统集体行动理论中借鉴对策。该范式阐释了为何多数缔约国执行《公约》乏力。然而其过于依赖传统理论,忽略《公约》项下集体行动的独特性,难以找准对策。同时该范式完全回避解释少数缔约国认真履约的现实。因此,本文在肯定该范式的理论贡献之上建议采用历史分析方法,从《公约》执行实践中总结经验,以为补充。 / 本文首先分析了《公约》项下反贿赂集体行动的制度化进程,发现《反海外贿赂法》和《公约》等核心制度的产生并非源自各缔约国对利益和价值的权衡取舍,而是立法者在既定的社会制度和价值体系中协调各主体的利益关切的必然选择。随后,本文立足于 “问题导向型”范式的理论成果,阐释了大部分缔约国不执行《公约》的原因:反贿赂集体行动存在着诸多结构性不安定因素,而《公约》项下的监督体制未能克服相关问题。《公约》项下集体行动问题需要系统的、三层次的应对模式:鼓励私人主体提供贿赂案件的原始线索;将私人主体获取原始线索的优势和公权力搜集确凿证据的优势整合;赋予受损的竞争者的母国对调查取证的参与权,促成缔约国相互监督。最后本文分析了美国日益激进的战略,发现其对《反海外贿赂法》的执行力度随着执法部门的执法义务和本部门中心任务的逐渐兼容而得以加强,其轨迹不同于理性主义对国家行为逻辑的预测。美国的激进战略客观上造就了国际规制竞争,为提高公约执行水平提供了新路径。 / Liu, Lianlian. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2015. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 337-355). / Abstracts also in Chinese. / Title from PDF title page (viewed on 15, September, 2016). / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only.

The crown and judicial venality in the Parlement of Toulouse, c. 1490-1547

Pollack, Samuel J. January 2017 (has links)
Notoriously, the French monarchy began to exchange judicial posts in its courts of law for cash to raise emergency funds in the early sixteenth century. The fact that all sorts of royal posts subsequently became venal or hereditary is a familiar aspect of ancien régime France, yet very little work exists on the genesis of this institution. This thesis traces the meanings, practices, and effects of 'venality' between 1490 and 1547. It does so by studying the relationship between the crown and the second most important law court of the kingdom, the Parlement of Toulouse. Traditional interpretations of office sale have tended to explain the phenomenon as a tale of royal hypocrisy, and have prioritised research on the Parlement of Paris. In contrast, this study argues that the study of a provincial court forces us to reconsider the chronology, techniques, and outcomes of early venality. A considerable amount of unexploited archival and printed material exists on office sale. By approaching it through the lens of legal culture, this thesis proposes an investigative model not only capable of explaining why venality emerged, but also why it was so vilified. Existing studies of office sale have tended to ignore legal talk and legislation as misleading or dissimulative. By paying particular attention to law and language, however, this study argues that the sale of judicial offices was a deeply ambiguous theme in the first half of the sixteenth-century that was open to constant interpretation. It was this very slipperiness that allowed a variety of actors to engage with it. Early office sale prolonged late medieval practices, but also heralded unprecedented changes, influencing the formation of the early-modern state. By studying the phenomenon, this thesis offers a rich and multifaceted picture of the relations and functioning of the crown and its tribunals.

Um estudo sobre o processo de adesão ao programa de integridade da lei 12.846, de 1º de agosto de 2013, e seus efeitos sobre os controles internos em empresas nacionais e multinacionais / A study on the adherence process to the law 12.846, August 1, 2013 integrity program, and its effects on internal controls in national and multinational companies.

Castro, Patrícia Reis Carvalho de 30 November 2016 (has links)
Diante dos escândalos contábeis e fraudes corporativas reportadas nas últimas décadas em diversos países do mundo, incluindo o Brasil, aprovou-se, em agosto de 2013, a lei anticorrupção brasileira 12.846, com o objetivo de responsabilizar administrativa e civilmente pessoas jurídicas que pratiquem atos contra a administração pública, nacional ou estrangeira. Embora seja notório o esforço do governo federal brasileiro no combate à corrupção, a legislação carecia de orientações sobre mecanismos e procedimentos internos de integridade, auditoria e incentivo à denúncia de irregularidades, demandando o preparo de documento complementar, publicado em março de 2015, através do Decreto 8.420. O presente estudo investiga o grau de conhecimento sobre o programa de integridade da lei anticorrupção, bem como sua existência e aplicabilidade, por meio da análise da percepção dos respondentes de uma amostra de empresas nacionais e multinacionais. Avaliam-se também os efeitos do programa de integridade estabelecido na lei anticorrupção sobre os controles internos das organizações e a opinião de auditores independentes sobre o monitoramento destes controles, com o advento da nova legislação. A amostra contempla 32 empresas de capital aberto associadas à ABRASCA (Associação Brasileira de Companhias Abertas) e 25 firmas de auditoria vinculadas ao IBRACON (Instituto dos Auditores Independentes do Brasil). Para coletar as respostas, utiliza-se o método survey, operacionalizado através de um formulário comercializado pela empresa Vroman Systems Inc (Form site) e enviado eletronicamente para o grupo de empresas selecionado. Em relação aos achados, destaca-se a confirmação de que a função do compliance officer foi criada após a regulamentação da lei anticorrupção, indicando que a legislação impactou o número de funcionários das organizações. Também se constata que as empresas respondentes, associadas à ABRASCA, têm alto grau de conhecimento e aderência aos parâmetros do programa de integridade da lei anticorrupção. Além disso, as firmas de auditoria associadas ao IBRACON confirmam que o programa de integridade da lei anticorrupção afetou o modelo de trabalho das auditorias independentes no Brasil. Dentre as recomendações para aprofundamento da pesquisa, sugere-se expandir a amostra para empresas de capital fechado, independentes de associações, e buscar entender se o programa de integridade da lei anticorrupção beneficia a performance financeira das empresas estabelecidas no Brasil. / In the face of corporate accounting scandals and frauds reported in the last decades in several countries, including Brazil, the Brazilian anti-corruption law 12,846 was approved in August 2013, with the purpose of charging administratively and civilly persons who commit acts against public, national or foreign administrations. Although the efforts of the Brazilian federal government to combat corruption are notable, the legislation lacked guidance on mechanisms, internal integrity procedures, audit and incentives to whistleblowing, resulting in the preparation of a supplementary document published in March 2015, through Decree 8,420. This study investigates the extent of knowledge about the anti-corruption integrity program law, as well as its existence and applicability, through the analysis of a sample of national and multinational companies. The effects of the integrity program, established in the anti-corruption law, on internal controls of organizations and the opinion of independent auditors on the monitoring of these controls, with the advent of new legislation, are also evaluated. The final sample includes 32 public companies associated with ABRASCA (Brazilian Association of Listed Companies) and 25 audit firms linked to IBRACON (Institute of Independent Auditors of Brazil). In order to collect the answers, the survey method is used, and conducted through a form marketed by Vroman Systems Inc (Form website) and sent electronically to the selected population. Regarding the results, the analysis shows that the function of the compliance officer was created after the regulation of the anti-corruption law, and indicates that the legislation affected the number of resources at these organizations. It also notes that the surveyed companies, associated with ABRASCA, have a high degree of knowledge and adherence to the parameters of the anti-corruption integrity program law. In addition, audit firms associated with IBRACON confirm that the anti-corruption integrity program law has affected the working model of independent audits in Brazil. For further research, it is recommended that the sample be expanded to include private companies and independent associations, and that the analysis should seek to understand if the anti-corruption integrity program law benefits the financial performance of the corporations in Brazil.

A Lei Anticorrupção (Lei nº 12.846/2013) e a responsabilidade solidária das sociedades controladoras, controladas e coligadas / The anticorruption law (Law 12.846/2013) and joint and several liabilities of the controlling, controlled and affiliated companies

Benini, Eduardo 30 October 2017 (has links)
O presente trabalho busca examinar a aplicação da responsabilidade solidária entre sociedades objeto de controle e coligação, conforme previsão do §2º, do art. 4º da Lei nº 12.846/2012, conhecida como Lei Anticorrupção. Pretende-se analisar a regra de solidariedade da Lei Anticorrupção confrontando-a com a regra de responsabilidade dos grupos societários, conforme Lei n.º 6.404/1976 (Lei das S.A.) e Lei n.º 10.406/2002 (Código Civil), com o fito de buscar um critério coerente com essa realidade para imputação de responsabilidade no âmbito das sociedades grupadas. O pano de fundo desta dissertação é dado pelas expectativas da sociedade brasileira no que concerne ao combate à corrupção, especialmente em relação aos detentores do poder econômico. A pesquisa utilizou-se do método dedutivo de análise e filia-se à visão dogmática baseada no tripé doutrina, legislação e jurisprudência, procurando, contudo, escapar à limitação de um debate meramente conceitual, na medida em que busca integrar uma abordagem social, alicerçada em dados da atual realidade brasileira do processo de integração empresarial. A dissertação inicia-se com um estudo histórico sobre o surgimento e a formação dos grupos societários, partindo da sociedade isolada dos primórdios até os grandes conglomerados econômicos da atualidade, sempre com ênfase nas peculiaridades da realidade brasileira. No percurso histórico procuramos examinar questões da personalidade jurídica, da autonomia e separação patrimonial, bem como a responsabilidade das sociedades e seus sócios perante credores sociais. Ao iniciar o exame dos grupos societários, levantam-se temas como: conceito de grupo societário, poder de controle, direção unitária, autonomia patrimonial e unidade econômica, para enfim tratarmos da responsabilidade no âmbito dos grupos societários, com a apresentação dos principais modelos regulatórios: (i) modelo norte americano (entity law approach); (ii) modelo europeu (enterprise approach); e, (iii) modelo alemão (dualista approach). Antes de abordar o modelo de responsabilidade adotado pela Lei Anticorrupção, procuramos examinar o complexo fenômeno da corrupção, suas raízes histórico-culturais entre nós, sua presença indiscutível nos mais diferentes países e seus deletérios efeitos sobre a sociedade, em especial de países em desenvolvimento. Na sequência, abordamos como foi emoldurado o sistema brasileiro de defesa contra a corrupção, bem como a origem e influência da Lei Anticorrupção, bem como suas principais características, especialmente a responsabilidade objetiva, a amplitude de sua aplicação, as sanções impostas e principais críticas existentes. Finalmente confrontamos a proposta apresentada pela Lei Anticorrupção para responsabilidade entre sociedades ligadas por meio da relação de controle ou coligação e o modelo de responsabilidade da Lei das S.A. Buscamos apresentar critérios que conciliem a aplicação da responsabilidade solidária no âmbito dos grupos societários e a Lei Anticorrupção, com vistas a aprimorar a aplicação da norma, tendo sempre como \"pedra de toque\" a observação e a consideração da realidade dinâmica das sociedades grupadas e os anseios da sociedade brasileira no combate à corrupção. / This paper seeks to examine the application of joint and several liabilities between controlled and affiliated companies, according to the provision of the art. 4º, §2 of Law 12.846/2012, known as the Anti-Corruption Law. The aim is to analyze the rule of joint and several liabilities provided by the Anti-Corruption Law, confronting it with the liability rule applicable to corporate groups, according to Law no. 6.404/1976 (Corporation Law) and Law no. 10406/2002 (Civil Code), with the purpose of seeking criteria consistent with this scenario regarding affiliated companies\' liability imputation within the affiliated companies. The background of this dissertation is given by Brazilian society\'s expectations regarding the fight against corruption, especially about the economic power holders. At the researching process, it was used the deductive method of analysis and it is based on a dogmatic vision based on the tripod doctrine, legislation and jurisprudence, nevertheless, trying to avoid the limitation of a purely conceptual debate, insofar as it seeks to integrate a social approach, grounded on the data of the current Brazilian reality of the business integration process. The dissertation begins with a historical study about the emergence and formation of corporate groups, starting from the single companies of the beginnings to the great economic conglomerates of today, always with emphasis on the peculiarities of the Brazilian reality. In the course of history, we sought to examine questions of legal personality, autonomy and separation of assets, as well as the liability of companies and their partners towards social creditors. When examining corporate groups from a scientific perspective, issues such as corporate group concept, control, unitary direction, autonomy of assets and economic unit, to finally deal with the liability within the corporate groups, with the presentation of the main regulatory models: (i) American model (entity law approach); (ii) European model (enterprise approach); And, (iii) the German model (dualist approach). Before approaching the model of liability provided by the Anti-Corruption Law, we sought to examine the complex phenomenon of corruption, its historical-cultural roots among us, its indisputable presence in the most different countries and its deleterious effects on society, especially in developing countries. We will, then, discuss how Brazil\'s anti-corruption system was framed, as well as the origin and influence of the Anti-Corruption Law, as well as its main characteristics, especially objective liability, the extent of its application, the sanctions imposed and the main criticisms that exists. Finally, we will be confronting the proposal presented by the Anti-Corruption Law for liability between companies bound by a control or affiliate relationship and the model of responsibility of Brazilian Corporate Law. We seek to present criteria that reconcile the application of joint liability in the scope of corporate groups and the Anti-Corruption Law, seeking to improve the application of the norm, always having as a \"touchstone\" the observation and consideration of the dynamic reality of group societies and the yearnings of Brazilian society in the fight against corruption.

When examining corporate groups from a scientific perspective, issues such as corporate group concept, control, unitary direction, autonomy of assets and economic unit, to finally deal with the liability within the corporate groups, with the presentation of the main regulatory models: (i) American model (entity law approach); (ii) European model (enterprise approach); And, (iii) the German model (dualist approach). Before approaching the model of liability provided by the Anti-Corruption Law, we sought to examine the complex phenomenon of corruption, its historical-cultural roots among us, its indisputable presence in the most different countries and its deleterious effects on society, especially in developing countries. We will, then, discuss how Brazil\'s anti-corruption system was framed, as well as the origin and influence of the Anti-Corruption Law, as well as its main characteristics, especially objective liability, the extent of its application, the sanctions imposed and the main criticisms that exists. Finally, we will be confronting the proposal presented by the Anti-Corruption Law for liability between companies bound by a control or affiliate relationship and the model of responsibility of Brazilian Corporate Law. We seek to present criteria that reconcile the application of joint liability in the scope of corporate groups and the Anti-Corruption Law, seeking to improve the application of the norm, always having as a \"touchstone\" the observation and consideration of the dynamic reality of group societies and the yearnings of Brazilian society in the fight against corruption.
