Global Policy, Corruption, Economic Crimes, Fronting, Whistleblowers
“(1) In its resolution 55/61 of 4 December 2000, the General Assembly recognized that an effective international legal instrument against corruption, independent of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (resolution 55/25, annex I) was desirable and decided to establish an ad hoc committee for the negotiation of such an instrument in Vienna at the headquarters of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). The text of the United Nations Convention against Corruption was negotiated during seven sessions of the Ad Hoc Committee for the Negotiation of the Convention against Corruption, held between 21 January 2002 and 1 October 2003. The Convention approved by the Ad Hoc Committee was adopted by the General Assembly by resolution 58/4 of 31 October 2003. The General Assembly, in its resolution 57/169 of 18 December 2002, accepted the offer of the Government of Mexico to host a high-level political signing conference in Merida for the purpose of signing the United Nations Convention against Corruption. In accordance with article 68 (1) of resolution 58/4, the United Nations Convention against Corruption entered into force on 14 December 2005. A Conference of the States Parties is established to review implementation and facilitate activities required by the Convention.

(2) First International Forum on Tax and Crime ∙ Oslo ∙ 21-23 March 2011. Issues related to greater inter-agency co-operation were discussed by more than 150 delegates from 54 delegations who participated in the first tax and crime forum on 21-23 March 2011 in Oslo hosted by the Norwegian government. The conference brought together representatives from a range of OECD and non-OECD governmental agencies, including Tax Administrations, Finance and Justice Ministries, Financial Intelligence Units, Central Banks, FATF, International Organisations, as well as business and NGOs. Second International Forum on Tax and Crime ∙ Rome ∙ 14-15 June 2012. This Forum brought together senior policy makers from different government agencies including the tax, anti-money laundering and anti-corruption communities, as well as private sector representatives, NGOs and other interested stakeholders. Participants examined best practice approaches to closer inter-agency co-operation at the domestic level and explore how to improve international cooperation. The conference also showcased specific key risks in the tax and crime area, allowing countries to target resources and learn from the experience of others. Building on previous events in Oslo and Rome, the Third Forum on Tax and Crime provided an opportunity for senior government officials from tax and customs administrations, anti-money laundering and anti‑corruption authorities, police and law enforcement, public prosecutors, financial regulators and government Ministries, as well as international organisations and NGOs, to discuss current issues and country experiences on key policy and operational topics in combating all forms of financial crime.

(3) The 4th Joint African Union Commission/United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (AUC/ECA) Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development was held in 2011. This Conference mandated ECA to establish the High Level Panel on Illicit Financial Flows from Africa. Illicit financial flows out of Africa have become a matter of major concern because of the scale and negative impact of such flows on Africa’s development and governance agenda.  By some estimates, illicit flows from Africa could be as much as US $50 billion per annum. This is approximately double the official development assistance (ODA) that Africa receives and, indeed, the estimate may well be short of reality as accurate data does not exist for all transactions and for all African countries.

Fronting means a deliberate circumvention or attempted circumvention of the South African B-BBEE Act and the Codes. Fronting commonly involves reliance on data or claims of compliance based on misrepresentations of facts, whether made by the party claiming compliance or by any other person. Verification agencies, and /or procurement officers and relevant decision-makers may come across fronting indicators through their interactions with measured entities. The B-BBEE Commission may also approach a court of law to restrain any breach or for any appropriate remedial relief, which may include setting aside the transaction or initiative. The B-BBEE Commission will not discuss the merit or the details of its investigative process, but the findings will be published as required in the B-BBEE Act.

Special Issue - New Diplomacy for New Conflicts
 

This special issue addresses the the changing nature of contemporary conflicts and the challenges they pose to conventional diplomacy. The topic was explored at the “New Diplomacy for New Types of Conflict” conference at the German Institute of Global and Areas Studies on 2–3 July 2018. The findings provided the foundations for many of the issue's articles. They cover contemporary approaches to understanding and resolving conflicts, often through the lens of regional and country case studies.

Special Issue – Science Diplomacy
 

The past decade has witnessed the emergence of science diplomacy, both as a formalized set of operations and new field of study and research. A number of factors are driving this trend, but central is the recognition that more and more, major challenges are international in nature and that science and its applications are part of the cause as well as the cure. As a result, while much of the international science regime is still focused on discovery, there is an increasing demand for the integration of science cooperation in international relations. This special issue provides a overview of the evolution of science diplomacy, explores recent developments and unpacks burning issues.

Special Issue - New Perspectives on Global Value Chains: Bringing Institutions Back In
 

This special issue of Global Policy examines the role of domestic and international institutions in the study of global value chains. The contributions focus on the multiple causal pathways linking global value chains and these institutions. They underscore that the politics engendered by global value chains, as well as how they evolve, can only be fully understood by paying attention to the contexts in which they are embedded.

Special Issue - Ten Years after the Global Financial Crisis: Lessons Learned, Opportunities Missed
 

The Global Financial Crisis was a truly momentous shock to the global economy. By the autumn of 2008, global output, employment and trade were in free fall as financial markets around the world seized‐up in dysfunction and credit ceased to flow. Ten years after the crisis, the papers in this special issue provide important insights into critical policy issues and can help guide efforts to strengthen international economic and financial governance. Success in this regard is critical to ensuring that the global economy remains a common wellspring of economic and social development for people around the globe.

Special Issue: Democracy Beyond Borders
 

Edited by David Held and Robert Schütze, this special issue of Global Policy brings together a group of scholars from law, political science, philosophy, sociology, and history to discuss and assess the extent to which democracy can crystallise beyond the nation state, and whether such developments are, in principle, desirable. Of course, the debate about democracy beyond borders is not new; there have been extensive philosophical and political reflections stretching back through the ages. The purpose of the special issue is to reconsider these debates particularly in the light of the attempts at supranational institution building that have been made in the 20th century. This reconsideration is prompted by a striking paradox: while the forces of globalisation create an ever-greater demand for global cooperation, the belief in the legitimacy of international institutions is gradually declining.

Special Issue: Resourcing International Organizations
 

The contributions to this special issue highlight critical issues in the study of Resourcing International Organizations (IOs), including resource diversification, the complexity of related actor constellations, and organizational differentiation that goes hand in hand with resource diversification. The findings documented in the contributions reveal how IOs seek to obtain and allocate funds, and how resourcing-related concerns pervade their organizations. It also illustrates the value-added of an approach to the study of IOs that hones in on their administrations, their capacity for strategic action and their inter-connectedness, in short, an ‘administrative governance perspective’. The central message is that IO resourcing matters both practically and analytically.

Special Issue: Public and Private Labor Standards Policy in the Global Economy
 

This Global Policy Special Issue on public and private protections of labor and social standards in the global economy explores whether public and private regulations of such standards develop in harmony or tension with one another. It promotes an approach to studying public-private interactions in global labor governance that is sensitive to how interactions are important at different stages in the making of public and private regulation; how the causal interaction can go from the public to the private and from the private to the public; how such interaction varies in quality and promise across different parts of the world, labor issue areas and policy instruments; and how public-private interaction can only be captured by combining case histories with large-N analysis. The evidence from the Special Issue's articles leads to a set of generic propositions, describing how public interventions tend to strengthen private labor policy, while private interventions tend to either modestly substitute for or have little effect upon public labor and social protections. The article then discusses how these dynamics may be influenced by the political contentiousness of the specific labor issue and the characteristics of the state.

Special Issue: Health Care Policy, Resource Allocation and Financial Sustainability
 

Given the growing complexity of health care, current global demographic and epidemiologic trends, adverse economic conditions in many parts of the world, and limited national budgets, it is increasingly difficult for policymakers and regulators to ensure continued access to affordable and high-quality health care. Decision-makers must implement policies that support efficient, equitable, and sustainable health systems. To that end, this special issue has three aims: (1) to analyse trends in health-care financing in a range of countries with varying degrees of economic development and political organization; (2) to review the viability of different financing models based on international experiences; and (3) to examine how efficiency in health care systems can be achieved without sacrificing quality. The issue consists of three sections and includes contributions from academic experts, health-care practitioners, and members of the broader stakeholder community.

Special Issue – Knowledge and Politics in Setting and Measuring SDGs
 

 

 

The papers in this special issue investigate the politics that shaped the SDGs, the setting of the goals, and the selection of the measurement methods. The SDGs ushered in a new era of ‘governance by indicators’ in global development. Goal setting and the use of numeric performance indicators have now become the method for negotiating a consensus vision of development and priority objectives.  The choice of indicators is seemingly a technical issue, but measurement methods interpret and reinterpret norms, carry value judgements, theoretical assumptions, and implicit political agendas.  As social scientists have long pointed out, reliance on indicators can distort social norms, frame hegemonic discourses, and reinforce power hierarchies.  The case studies in this collection show the open multi-stakeholder negotiations helped craft more transformative and ambitious goals.  But across many goals, there was slippage in ambition when targets and indicators were selected.  The papers also highlight how the increasing role of big data and other non-traditional sources of data is altering data production, dissemination and use, and fundamentally altering the epistemology of information and knowledge.  This raises questions about ‘data for whom and for what’ – fundamental issues concerning the power of data to shape knowledge, the democratic governance of SDG indicators and of knowledge for development overall.

Special Issue: Europe and the World: Global Insecurity and Power Shifts
 

Dahrendorf warned long ago that Europe may be ill prepared for the challenges of globalisation. More recently, Giddens has questioned whether Europe can afford its social model and the cultures it embodies, while analysts like Mahbubani have repeatedly challenged the complacency of the West, in particular Europe. Clearly, the conditions for pursuing a common path are changing at a pace concurrent with global geopolitical trends. In a fast-changing world, Europe runs the risk of being left behind, diminished to what a Chinese commentator has called a ‘center of museums and tourist destinations’. Given developments, it seems important to explore a number of difficult questions:

Will the European Project develop into a democratic governance structure capable of serving as a united vision and functioning public administration for member states – or will it disintegrate into smaller units or muddle through as a technocracy? Will Europe manage to maintain its leading economic position next to North America and East Asia – or will it become a regional economy more or less integrated into world markets, but ultimately dominated by outside forces? Will Europe remain, and be treated as, a world power – or will it become increasingly marginalised in geopolitical affairs? To address these questions from diverse perspectives, this special issue of Global Policy, guest edited by Helmut K. Anheier and Robert Falkner, brings together contributions from the Dahrendorf Symposium 2016 ‘Europe and the World – Global Insecurity & Power Shifts’ held in Berlin in May 2016.

Special Issue: Critical Perspectives on Human Mobility in Times of Crisis
 

This special issue looks at the ruptures, oppositions and insecurities in Western/Northern perspectives on human mobility with the overall goal to explain how the West's claim to be a norm entrepreneur for rule of law, freedom and prosperity relates to a growing rejection of an ‘other’ who is asking for refuge in this protected space in accordance with the latter's self-proclaimed rules.

Too Big to Handle - Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Question of Why Societies Ignore Looming Disasters

 

Systemic risks such as climate change and pandemics, and natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and asteroids, are often too big to handle physically, but they are no longer ‘Acts of God’ and beyond human understanding and the possibility of prevention and disaster relief preparation. Indeed, in many of these areas there is much talk, less action and only paltry gains. This free to access special issue of Global Policy explores the question of when and why societies are unable to handle these looming disasters. It stems from a conference held on 9th and 10th October 2014, at the Wissenschaftskolleg in Berlin (Institute for Advanced Study, also popularly and internationally known as the WIKO), well known for its encouragement of cross-disciplinary interactions.
