TRACE Releases New Book, Corrosive: Corruption and its Consequences

ANNAPOLIS, MD—31 March 2020—Global anti-bribery standard setting organization TRACE announced today the release of its latest book, Corrosive: Corruption and its Consequences, a collection of case studies and different perspectives on bribery and corruption from industry, academic and advocacy leaders. From 5G to national security and human trafficking, the book addresses the many problems fueled by corruption, and solutions to mitigate them. Print and Kindle versions of the book are available through Amazon.

“Understanding and countering corruption is more important than ever in the current economic climate, where resource scarcity and the perception that governments are distracted will almost certainly encourage more financial crime,” TRACE President Alexandra Wrage said. “One of the most effective ways to advance anti-corruption efforts is to consider the perspectives of experts who have studied the phenomenon for years, and apply the lessons learned.”

Corrosive: Corruption and its Consequences is edited by TRACE’s President, Alexandra Wrage, and Director of Compliance Resources, Illya Antonenko. The book includes chapters by Megan Brown, Madeline Cohen and Kevin Muhlendorf of Wiley Rein LLP; Clark Gascoigne of the FACT Coalition and Gary Kalman of Transparency International’s U.S. office; Alexander Cooley of Barnard College and Columbia University; Nicole Fulk and Martina Vandenberg of the Human Trafficking Legal Center; Danish Hamid; Imelda Higgins, Paul Lavery and Ruth Hughes of McCann FitzGerald Dublin; Doyle Hodges of the Texas National Security Review and Stephen Wrage of the U.S. Naval Academy Political Science Department; Michael Johnston of Colgate University; Taras Kuzio of the National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy; and Merritt Smith of TRACE.
