The hard graft of tackling corruption in international business transactions: progress in international co-operation and the OECD convention

Article Abstract:

A listing of the international efforts undertaken to curb corruption in international business transactions is presented. The increasing globalization of the economy has opened up new opportunities for corruption, especially in international bidding where unscrupulous corporations or governments may sway the results of a bid, undermining the basic tenets of competition. One of the outstanding results of this international cooperation is the establishment of the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development Convention on the subject which will provide many governments with specific guidelines and rules of activity which will minimize corruption.

The international use of antidumpng: 1987-1997

Article Abstract:

The antidumping measures by the Members of the World Trade Organization/General Agreements on Tariffs and Trade Contracting Parties in the 1987-97 were investigated. The semi-annual reports on antidumping actions by the reporting countries and the affected countries were used in the study. The results showed the importance of minimizing the negative effects of antidumping as a prerequisite in boosting trade liberalization. This can be achieved without the need for a new round of multilateral trade negotiations because the current rules are sufficient to control protectionist abuse.

How regulations incorporating environmental values transcend international commitments and affect production agriculture

Article Abstract:

Increasing worldwide environmental consciousness is resulting in regulations which affect agriculture and trade in agricultural products. These regulations spell out conservation measures and cover pesticides, production methods and internalizing environmental costs. Some of these regulations may decrease the output of some commodities, but they will also create a demand for alternative products. Firms in the agricultural products trade may have to change their practices in accordance with these regulations in order to remain competitive.
