Effektives Compliance Management ist ein aktuelles Thema, mit dem sich Wissenschaft und Praxis gleichermaßen intensiv beschäftigen. Antonia Steßl geht der Frage nach, wieso sich trotz bestehender rechtlicher und regulatorischer Vorgaben sowie umfassender interner Kontrollsysteme noncompliant Verhalten in Unternehmen fortsetzt. Anhand von sozialen Dynamiken und Prozessen, die innerhalb von Unternehmen und insbesondere von korrupten Netzwerken stattfinden, zeigt sie auf, wie der einzelne Mitarbeiter dazu veranlasst wird, sich dauerhaft an illegalen Machenschaften zu beteiligen. Die soziologische Herangehensweise der Studie, die in Kooperation mit einem international tätigen Unternehmen durchgeführt wurde, bietet neue Ansatzpunkte für die Ausgestaltung von wirksamen Korruptionspräventions- und -bekämpfungsstrategien.
This book seeks to address the phenomenon of whistleblowing in the light of European court decisions. It also provides an in-depth study of comparative law, the legal systems of which can be used to compare the Portuguese General Whistleblower Protection Regime. As can be seen, the Portuguese legislator took advantage of the fact that the European Whistleblowing Directive is a minimum harmonisation directive to give Law 93/2021 a broader scope than that required by European standards.
Através desta segunda edição, o presente livro aborda o fenómeno do whistleblowing, à luz das decisões dos tribunais europeus. Através do mesmo, é realizado um profundo estudo de Direito Comparado, cujos ordenamentos jurídicos podem servir de comparação ao Regime Geral de Proteção de Denunciantes Português. Como se constata, o legislador português socorreu-se do facto da Diretiva Europeia de Whistleblowing ser uma Directiva de harmonização mínima, para conferir à Lei n.o 93/2021, um caráter mais abrangente daquele que é exigido pelas normas europeias.
From the Spanish Inquisition to Nazi Germany to the United States today, ordinary people have often chosen to turn in their neighbors to the authorities. What motivates citizens to inform on the people next door? In Judge Thy Neighbor, Patrick Bergemann provides a theoretical framework for understanding the motives for denunciations in terms of institutional structures and incentives. In case studies of societies in which denunciations were widespread, Bergemann merges historical and quantitative analysis to explore individual reasons for participation. He sheds light on Jewish converts’ shifting motives during the Spanish Inquisition; when and why seventeenth-century Romanov subjects fulf...
