{"product_id":"public-wrongs-private-actions-jean-pierre-brun-9781464803703","title":"Public Wrongs, Private Actions","description":"\"Over the last decade, the topics of corruption and recovery of its proceeds have steadily risen in the international policy agenda, with the entry into force of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) in 2005, the Arab Spring in 2011, and most recently a string of scandals in the financial sector. As states decide how best to respond to corruption and recover assets, the course of action most often discussed is criminal investigation and prosecution rather than private lawsuits. But individuals, organizations, and governments harmed by corruption are also entitled to recover lost assets and\/or receive compensation for the damage suffered. To accomplish these goals of recovery and compensation, private or 'civil' actions are often a necessary and useful complement to criminal proceedings. This study explores how states can act as private litigants to bring lawsuits to recover assets lost to corruption.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Pierre Brun,Pascale Helene DuBois,Emile Van Der Does De Willebois\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1464803706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781464803703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Bank Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Jean-Pierre Brun","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444981772543,"sku":"9781464803703","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3cbea882-e3df-466e-87ac-2ca99bbaf32f.jpg?v=1777215835","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/public-wrongs-private-actions-jean-pierre-brun-9781464803703","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
