the problem and the way entire operating environments
get affected. This book provides the reader with
basic information on the different forms of
corruption, the parties involved as well as its
negative consequences. It also gives the reader an
idea of the basic legal framework that exists to
fight corruption on an international level, and
across the European Union. A description and analysis
of the most important international anti-corruption
instruments explains in an easily understandable
manner the legal framework conditions the business
community has to deal with in that context.
