Any upcoming or past event or conference in which a Basel Institute member is participating.
Both in investment and in commercial arbitration, it is becoming more and more frequent that a party raises the objection of corruption, money laundering, fraud or bid rigging.
The challenges this presents for arbitrators and parties are considerable and were the topic of a conference organised by the University of Basel in cooperation with the Basel Institute on Governance.
In March experts of the Basel Institute were among the winners of a competitive call for papers in the context of the 2018 OECD Global Anti-Corruption & Integrity Forum in Paris.
In a poster market setting and through a simultaneous TED-talk style research pitch, they interactively presented their paper on the topic of “Harnessing social networks for anti-corruption” at the event.
Dr. Claudia Baez-Camargo, Head of Governance Research at the Basel Institute, presented her team’s findings from its two-year research project on Informal Governance and Corruption: Transcending the Principal-Agent and Collective Action Paradigms at the award holders’ event of the ACE programme at the British Academy in London on 27 February.
Staff of the Basel Institute will be at the following upcoming events (among others), either presenting or participating. See you there – or contact us in advance if you’d like to meet up.
There's a lot of buzz about Collective Action as a means to tackle corruption. But what is it exactly? What is its value? How is it good for business? Who gets involved in Collective Action initiatives and why?
This week, we will be releasing five short videos about Collective Action. Filmed during the International Centre for Collective Conference in November 2018, they feature leading voices in the field of anti-corruption Collective Action.
In January 2018, the Competence Centre for Arbitration and Crime organised a first conference to analyse the state of affairs regarding allegations of corruption arising in international arbitration proceedings.
The follow-up workshop of January 2019 served to discuss specific issues in depth, based on the draft text of a "toolkit for arbitrators". The toolkit is work in progress and it is intended to be published soon.
