Abstract

The Regulation of Transnational Bribery by Kevin E. Davis, strips out the universal character of illegitimate payments used to bribe public officials of foreign countries in the milieu of international business which has been known for years. The manuscript deals with various definitions of bribery as a transaction in which an official misuse his or her office “as a result of considerations of personal gain, which need not be monetary”. The book highlights the current debate about prohibiting transnational bribery. Such a debate is not about the practicality or desirability of the United States’ FCPA, which at one time was the only law in the world that efficiently banned transnational bribery.
