International anti-corruption norms their creation and influence on domestic legal systems

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This book traces the creation of international anti-corruption norms by States and other actors through four markedly different institutions: the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the United Nations, the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, and the Financial Action Task Force. It analyses the international regulation of corruption, assesses the core international instruments governing anti-corruption efforts, and considers the concept of legitimacy as a framework for evaluating anti-corruption norms.
