Download or read book Preventing Corporate Corruption written by Stefano Manacorda and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the results of a two-year international research project conducted for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNDOC) to investigate and provide solutions for reducing bribery and corruption in corporations and institutions. It starts with an empirical case study on the effectiveness of a set of self-regulation rules adopted by multinational companies in the energy sector. Second, it explores the context and factors leading to corruption internationally (and the relationships between domestic criminal law and self-regulation). Third, it examines guidelines for the adoption of compliance programs developed by international institutions, to serve as models for the future. The principle result of the book is a three-pronged Anti-Bribery Corruption Model (so called ABC Model), endorsed by the United Nations, intended as a corruption prevention tool intended to be adopted by private corporations. This work provides a common, research-based standard for anti-bribery compliance programs, with international applications. This work will be of interest to researchers studying Criminology and Criminal Justice, particularly in the areas of organized crime and corruption, as well as related areas like Business Ethics and Comparative International Law.
Download or read book Criminal law between war and peace written by Stefano Manacorda and published by Ministerio de Justicia. This book was released on 2009 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If subjecting war to law is one of the most important legal achievements of the 20th century, progressing further in that direction is one of the most important challenges for the 21st century. The problems it poses are many: the term “war” has formally fallen into disuse and we talk about “peacekeeping”; armies are today the product of cooperation between states and international organizations; private contractors increasingly participate in warlike activities, as the case of the Iraq war demonstrates; and the lines between war and very serious forms of crime (terrorism, organized crime) are increasingly blurred. This volume compiles the contributions presented at XVth International Congress on Social Defence, and tackle the criminal-legal issues raised by these new scenarios. It constitutes an innovative volume, gathering together the work of both academic and military authors, who have drawn on their theoretical and practical experience.

How can minimum standards designed to protect labor rights be implemented in a world in which national labor law is more and more at the mercy of international forces beyond its control? The contributors to this volume argue that international agreements and institutions are of central importance if labor rights are to be protected in a globalized economy, exploring some of the options that are open to governments, civil society, and the labor movement in the years ahead.

Download or read book Individualizaci n de la responsabilidad penal por la actividad empresarial en EE UU Un modelo para el Derecho penal espa ol written by Elena B, Fernández Castejón and published by J.M Bosch. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En el terreno de la práctica judicial, cada vez son más numerosos los casos en los que están implicados por diferentes delitos agentes internos de la empresa y, más recientemente, las propias organizaciones. De hecho, una de las principales problemáticas actuales a las que se enfrenta la praxis forense es la individualización de la responsabilidad penal en el seno de la estructura empresarial, y quizás por ello sea, también, un campo de investigación vivo en el que la teoría del delito se sigue desarrollando para su mejora como instrumento sistemático y metodológico. La presente monografía supone una novedosa forma de contribuir tanto a comprender mejor el sentido de la responsabilidad penal frente a quienes cometen delitos en el ámbito empresarial, como a mejorar nuestra propia capacidad hermenéutica aprendiendo de otros modos de ver los problemas dogmáticos. Tomando como punto de partida la evolución del sistema estadounidense desde la implantación de la responsabilidad penal de las personas jurídicas y ahondando en la problemática constatada de que en EE.UU. el sistema de responsabilidad penal de las empresas está mercantilizando el Derecho penal empresarial enmascarando a los auténticos artífices de una gran actividad delictiva, la autora explica profusamente, de un modo inédito en nuestro idioma, y con una perspectiva crítica, cómo esto fue el inicio de una tendencia creciente sobre la que la dogmática estadounidense ya manifestó su preocupación décadas atrás y sobre la que recientemente también se ha pronunciado la propia Fiscalía General de EE.UU. En este sentido, la autora propone, a partir de los criterios jurisprudenciales que desde hace décadas se están utilizado en EE.UU. para el levantamiento del velo y la individualización de la responsabilidad de los distintos sujetos que intervienen en la delincuencia empresarial, la potenciación y mejora también en nuestro sistema, de la individualización de la responsabilidad en la empresa. Así, partiendo de la práctica penal estadounidense propone el empleo en nuestro sistema de distintos criterios para la atribución de la responsabilidad de los altos directivos, los trabajadores y los asesores externos a la propia empresa; que encuentran en la presente obra, un sugerente planteamiento que no pasará desapercibido para la práctica y la Dogmática penal.
Download or read book Latin American Politics written by Torcuato S. Di Tella and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-22 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in English in 1990 as Latin American Politics: A Theoretical Framework, a translation of Torcuato S. Di Tella's original Sociología de los procesos políticos, this new edition also focuses on the prerequisites for democracy in any society and on the role of the popular classes in social change. Di Tella draws on the work of Montesquieu, Burke, Tocqueville, Marx, Weber, and Durkheim in formulating his explanatory theories. These theories are then tested against crucial events in Latin American history—from the rebellions of the eighteenth century to the caudillos of the nineteenth century and the militarism of the twentieth century. This edition is more attuned to an English-speaking audience, with a new chapter addressing the historical process in Argentina from the 1930s to 2000. Latin American Politics is written in a style easily accessible to the general reader or student, while its emphasis on the growth of democracy in Latin America makes it particularly timely.

Download or read book La imputaci n objetiva en el derecho penal econ mico y de la empresa written by Bernardo José Feijoo Sánchez and published by Ediciones Olejnik. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Señalaba no hace mucho en la presentación de otro libro en esta misma editorial que una de las perspectivas que han resultado más fructíferas para la teoría del Derecho Penal en los últimos tiempos es concebir delito y pena como fenómenos comunicativos. Esta tendencia ha resultado especialmente provechosa en el ámbito de la normativización de la tipicidad gracias a la teoría de la imputación objetiva, con independencia de que quizás no sea “objetiva” la expresión más afortunada. Esta normativización de la tipicidad ya no se limita exclusivamente a la imputación de resultados a conductas, sino que se extiende a todos los ámbitos de la tipicidad. Lejos quedan los tiempos en los que era objeto de reflexión doctrinal generalizada si la denominada teoría de la imputación objetiva también era válida para los delitos de peligro o para los delitos de mera actividad. Si se parte de la idea de que se trata de imputar injustos penales a personas concretas, los criterios normativos relevantes abarcan cualquier modalidad de injusto penal. Confío en que este análisis de problemas generales de la teoría jurídica del delito con base en los delitos económicos como paradigma de lo que se ha denominado “moderno Derecho Penal” sirva para abrir nuevas perspectivas tanto de las instituciones de la parte general del Derecho Penal como de un grupo de figuras delictivas que cada vez es más evidente que no se dejan abarcar con planteamientos que provienen de la teorización de otros tipos delictivos más clásicos (por ejemplo, la estafa)".
