Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Miscellaneous, grade: 2 (B), LMU Munich (Geschwister-Scholl-Institute for Political Science), course: Corruption as a phenomenon of international relations, 28 entries in the bibliography, language: English, comment: In recent years, global awareness of corruptive practices or rather corruption as such has increased enormously. In the past few years corruption in the political scenes such as scandals, immoral practices, etc., to name just a few, comes into light for the public. However, corruption does not exist only in the politics but frankly corruption is everywhere. , abstract: The objection of this study, loosely, is to identify the causes and effects of corruption in international business transactions, the meaning of (corruption in) international business transactions and how can we detect, prevent, minimise or even resolve the problems. Thesis question: Is corruption in international business transactions an accepted norm that is tolerated globally? How has it come to be so, what harms has it done and what can we do about it?
