Corruption, government and corporative ethics: an overview view of progress in comparative law and in Brazil

Corrupção, ética governamental e corporativa: uma visão geral do progresso no direito comparado e no Brasil

This work deals with on the overview of private corporate governance against corruption, as well as government initiatives to repress this phenomenon. The research problem can be formulated as follows: what are the guidelines established to characterize institutional corruption and its treatment in Brazil and in the world, both in the public and private sectors? The hypothesis is that there are numerous ways of observing corruption, as well as initiatives to deal with corruption, as well as, again, ways to avoid the implementation of these guidelines. The work is justified in view of the social relevance of the issue of corporate and governmental ethics, as well as the need for Law to work on these themes.
