Foreign anti-corruption legislation in the private sector

The study analyzes the legislative instruments of Finland, Sweden, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Singapore which have recently been used as an anti-corruption benchmark in the private sector. Despite the ongoing exchanges of tools for combating this negative phenomenon among the countries, nowadays, almost any government takes its own anti-corruption efforts. On the one hand, in Finland and Sweden, both the unacceptability of corrupt behavior in society and non-governmental movements that educate people against corruption allow countries to remain the leaders with a minimum Corruption Perceptions Index. On the other hand, leadership is associated with an active rule-making and consistent enforcement. The author puts forward hypotheses about the prospects of learning from other countries and basing upon several provisions of foreign legislation to develop a Russian anti-corruption policy focused on primary concerns such as the economic security of the country.
