Extraterritoriality, economics and crime

Chapter 5 in Research Handbook on Extraterritoriality in International Law, 2023, pp 76-91 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Categorizing extraterritoriality of national anti-corporate crime laws as those only enforced by state actors, as is often done, is reductionist. This chapter uses the case of international bribery to explore the extraterritoriality of corporate crime policing, which rely on complicated interactions between states and corporations. The author finds that corporations in many instances occupy dual roles as both defendants and partners of enforcement authorities and that enforcement is largely a matter of negotiation, persuasion, and compliance. Drawing on settlement documents in high profile international bribery cases, the research utilizes a collective action perspective to explain new modalities of extraterritoriality. The chapter provides an alternative explanation of how extraterritoriality functions and more general insights to policy makers about effects extraterritoriality has on policing corporate crime.
