    (Elgar Publishing, 2020-04-08) Pieth, Mark
    This thought-provoking book examines the scope, benefits and challenges of negotiated settlements as an enforcement mechanism in bribery cases, and demonstrates the need for a more harmonized and principled approach to deterring corporate bribery. Written by a global team of experts with backgrounds in legal practice, policy work and academia, it offers a truly international perspective, considering negotiated settlements in view of a variety of different legal systems and traditions.

    Transnational economic crime: The example of “gold laundering”
    (University of the Western Cape, 2018) Pieth, Mark
    Allow me first to thank the organisers of this conference for affording me the honour of giving this opening speech. The issues which the conference is addressing indeed are closely interlinked. Corruption almost always leads to money laundering. And, increasingly, new criminal methods are being developed, in particular the use blockchain technology. From the perspective of the black-letter lawyer, though, we have become used to treating the topics of corruption and money laundering separately, because we focus on concrete offences – and rightfully so. However, if you apply a social sciences approach or, even more so, if you look at the field of challenges from a development assistance perspective, a much broader picture emerges.
