Extraterritoriality in the global governance of corruption: legal and political perspectives

Ellen Gutterman

Chapter 25 in Research Handbook on Extraterritoriality in International Law, 2023, pp 430-442 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter reviews recent enforcement trends in the global governance of transnational bribery and corruption and theorizes these developments through the lens of extraterritoriality. The concept of extraterritoriality here provides a perspective on global governance, though which to apprehend the extent to which an ostensibly multilateral governance arrangement is in fact grounded in the domestic norms, politics, and particular interests of a dominant state. The chapter has two main goals. The first is to provide an overview of recent trends and cases in anti-corruption law, starting with US enforcement of its Foreign Corrupt Practices Act - in which extraterritoriality is a prominent feature. The second goal of the chapter is to consider the implications of these trends for the theory and practice of global governance, more generally.
