Abstract

Corruption (meaning the abuse of entrusted power for private gain) has been plaguing humanity for millennia. Although there have been many attempts to repress it with more or less success, it has never been entirely eradicated. Traditionally, these attempts were confined to states seeking to combat the bribing of their own public officials. This reflected the organizational framework of the nation state as it emerged in the 19th century, where most issues could be, and were, addressed at a national level and any extraterritorial reach of national law was considered anathema. However, in the second half of the 20th century the exponential development of communications made it increasingly evident that this approach could not be maintained.
