The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Convention is an unusual international agreement in that it seeks to coordinate disparate legal and ethical systems in order to arrive at a minimum standard with respect to an important form of white collar crime. It obliges signatory countries, which now include all 30 OECD member countries plus a growing number of non-members, to make the bribery, corruption, extortion, and/or insiders trading of a foreign public official a crime under their laws. Why is this such a difficult policy to implement?

Policy: You must make a minimum of three substantive contributions on two separate days of the learning week to each discussion topic, with the first to the professor. Post your response to the first discussion question early in the learning week (no later than Wednesday), and then respond to a minimum of two other classmates’ posts using critical thinking skills – meaningful and thought provoking. Your initial post must be 3 paragraphs 6 lines in length with a minimum of 2 peer-reviewed references in APA format. No Wikipedia, BLOGS with ads from yahoo.com or search engines, as they present a biased opinion. Use peer-reviewed articles to support your thoughts!
