Codification of the Law of Administrative Procedure General Perspectives

The International Academy of Comparative Law was certainly well inspired when it decided to choose codification of administrative procedure as one of the issues addressed during the 2012 Taipei Congress, whose general topic was codification. The numerous national reports which were submitted constitute a generous and exciting intellectual crop, on which many interesting lines of reflection can be based.

Corruption And Conflicts Of Interest

As in all periods of swift economic development and political upheaval, our era of globalization has brought corruption and conflicts of interest into the spotlight. This comprehensive study highlights the difficulties of devising global legislative and judicial responses to these issues. The papers gathered in this volume demonstrate how global regulations tend to meet strong cultural resistance, in particular when dealing with the more subtle patterns of conflicts of interest. It is a notion that is far from successfully regulated in every country or addressed in compatible ways. In fact, the comparisons offered demonstrate that even international organizations such as the European Union have failed to fully consolidate their systems for mitigating their own risks of corruption and conflicts of interest. Providing a comprehensive study of the phenomenon of corruption and conflicts of interest from a comparative perspective, this book will prove vital for academics, NGOs and practitioners.
