LIDS Global, Volume I: Issues in Combating Transnational Corruption<\/strong><\/p>\n

LIDS Global and its partner schools produced an innovative, inaugural research\u00a0project during the 2013-2014 school year. Building off on the\u00a0LIDS White Paper,\u00a0\u201cAccess to Remedies for Public Harm Caused by Foreign Public Bribery:\u00a0Proposals for Legal Reform in the U.S.,\u201d the LIDS Global partner schools\u00a0undertook research pertaining to a particular issue related to corruption and\u00a0options for compensation in their respective regions. The schools shared their\u00a0findings in papers, which have been compiled as\u00a0LIDS Global, Volume I: Issues\u00a0in Combating Transnational Corruption<\/a>.<\/p>\n

LIDS Global, Volume II: The Role of Freedom of Information in Combatting\u00a0Corruption<\/strong><\/p>\n

For its second effort, LIDS Global and its partner schools explored the use of one\u00a0tool that may be underused in the fight against corruption — Freedom of\u00a0Information Laws. FOI laws, like the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in the\u00a0U.S., already play a prominent role in investigative journalism and other\u00a0tangential efforts to combat corruption, but they rarely seem to play a part in\u00a0direct legal proceedings against corrupt actors. This paper focuses on how these\u00a0powerful laws could be used to produce valuable, legally-actionable evidence for\u00a0use in the global fight against corruption.

Overview of LIDS Global<\/strong><\/p>\n

LIDS Global is\u00a0an exciting initiative through which\u00a0LIDS has been fostering\u00a0relationships with law school students outside of the United States who have\u00a0similar interests in international development issues. Along with helping a few\u00a0schools create their own international development organizations, LIDS Global\u00a0coordinates collaborative research projects with the contribution of participating\u00a0schools.<\/p>\n
