Implementing the U.S. Strategy on Anti-Corruption: the Role of International Accountability and Dete

• Speaker: Richard Nephew, Coordinator on Global Anti-Corruption at the U.S. Department of State

The White House released the first-ever U.S. Strategy on Countering Corruption in December 2021, marshalling a whole-of-government effort to expand and intensify comprehensive efforts to combat corruption at home and around the world. The U.S. Strategy places particular emphasis on transnational corruption, and this talk will focus on the U.S. government’s efforts to promote accountability for corrupt acts around the world.
