La corruption et le droit du commerce international
2020
Corruption is a practice that hinders development and can affect various activities, including international economic activities. It undermines the proper functioning of international trade requiring the need to fight against itThis study aims to highlight the existence of an anti-corruption legal framework implemented by international trade law which resists to corruption fight. This anti-corruption legal framework is materialized by the existence of tools that can be classified into two categories: tools belonging to the corpus of international trade rules and complementary tools provided by other legal rules very widely connected to international trade law, such as international arbitrat…
Essays on Corruption
2021
Paper III and Paper IV is not published yet. Corruption is blamed for reductions in operational efficiency, information asymmetry, limited income distribution, policy failure, and weak economic growth and development. Corruption can originate from either the “demand-side” (the recipients of the bribe) or the “supply-side” (the givers of the bribe). This double edge effect of corruption on the economy and society makes it a multidisciplinary subject and phenomenon. Thus, scholars from different fields and disciplines, such as finance, banking, economics, accounting, law, foreign aid, and international business, examined and analyzed corruption as a multidisciplinary subject. In this disserta…

Per una critica dell’art. 319-quater c.p. Una terza via tra concussione e corruzione
2013
L’introduzione dell’art. 319-quater mira a risolvere i problemi storicamente po-sti dalla distinzione tra corruzione e concussione. Pur sorretta da uno spunto condivisibile, quella disposizione, per il modo in cui è concretamente concepita, finisce tuttavia per solle-vare un novero di questioni fors’anche superiore rispetto a quelle che contribuisce a risolve-re. Gli stessi problemi si sarebbero potuti assai più agevolmente risolvere, già in vigenza del precedente sistema, sol che si fosse accettato di superare il dogma della mutua esclusività di quelle due fattispecie.
Media and corruption scandals in Spain: plaintiffs, magnifiers, accomplices?
2013
Partiendo de la idea según la cual el periodismo es, en regímenes de tradición liberal democrática, un freno a la arbitrariedad de los que gobiernan y de que los medios de comunicación, y en especial la prensa escrita, han acometido la tarea de vigilancia de los casos de corrupción acaecidos en la España democrática, se indaga sobre los mecanismos que dificultan el ejercicio de un periodismo de denuncia de la corrupción política y se proponen orientaciones para acercar la ética periodística a la ética cívica propia de la democracia. Starting from the idea that journalism is, in liberal democratic regimes tradition, a brake on the arbitrariness of those who govern and that the media, particu…
Corruption and entrepreneurship: A bibliometric analysis
2019
The impact of corruption on entrepreneurial dynamics became an attractive topic for scholars after the appearance of public scandals that led to the delegitimization of many governments in the last 40 years. The research that explored the relationship between corruption and entrepreneurship has produced controversial results. It appears that the interaction of these two constructs is influenced by contextual factors both at an individual and national level of analysis. By using a bibliometric methodology and a fractional counting method to analyse the scientific literature on corruption and entrepreneurship, this paper identifies and analyses 180 articles recorded in the Scopus database. It…
Näkemys oikeudenmukaisuudesta ja kihlakunnantuomarin viraltapano 1700-luvun puolivälin Vanhassa Suomessa
2021
Sven Johan Östring hoiti Vanhassa Suomessa sijainneen Savonlinnan tuomiokunnan kihlakunnantuomarin virkaa reilun vuosikymmen ajan keväästä 1747 kesään 1760. Kihlakunnantuomarin ja tuomiokunnan rahvaan välit kärjistyivät 1750-luvun lopulla talonpoikien valittaessa toistuvasti tuomari Östringin väärinkäytöksistä. Talonpoikien mukaan kihlakunnantuomari Östring oli heidän vihamiehensä. Artikkelissa kysytään, miten virkavirhevalitusprosessit etenivät ja mitkä syyt johtivat lopulta kihlakunnantuomarin viraltapanoon. Kihlakunnantuomari Östringin väärinkäytökset olivat luonteeltaan pääasiassa taloudellisia. Valituksissa korostui kuitenkin taloudellisia menetyksiä vahvemmin talonpoikien näkemys oike…
Global Public Sector and Political Communication
2019
Public and political organizations exist to maintain societies in more or less democratic settings. Both political and public sector organizations have traditionally been blamed for several ills in society including inefficiency, bureaucracy, serving their own needs above others’ and corruption. Though each public sector and political organization is a product of its own time and environment, there seem to be certain global trends that challenge them: rapid change, use of social media, citizen diversity, and novel forms of citizen activism for example question the more traditional means of communication. How public entities and politicians communicate with citizens and publics is of strateg…

The contribution of this study to academic literature is increasing awareness of NGO corruption and its different forms in Pakistan from the project management point of view.

DISTRIBUTISM - WAY FOR SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC RECOVERY
2013
As history of the last centuries has shown, the capitalism and the communism are generating economic crisis, in connection with a deeper crisis, i.e. the spiritual crisis, driven by the tendency of man’s massification,, by which his spiritual qualities are strongly tainted over time. Distributism, promoting widespread ownership of productive ownership, is the only economic frame adequate to the anthropology of the person, namely of a true man.
