본 연구는 반부패·청렴의 개념화를 분류하고 측정하기에 앞서 관련 정책이 생성‧발생하고 작동하는 원리 자체로, 반부패·청렴의 개념화를 어떻게 인지하고 이를 활용하고 있는지를 탐색한다. 부연하면, 4가지의 반부패와 청렴의 언어철학적 분석을 통해 맥락을 파악하고(①동의어, 이의어(②구분형, ③범주형, ④인과형), 현 반부패‧청렴정책에서 파악한 맥락이 어떻게 전제되어 있는가를 살펴본다. 이를 통해, 반부패·청렴의 정책문제에서 의미문제와 제도수립의 문제로, 반부패·청렴의 개념화로 인한 상황으로부터의 단절, 개념화와 재량권의 발생, 기술의 서술적 한 계와 재량권, 의사소통의 가능성 문제, 이중 해석 및 번역의 문제 등으 로 인해 거래비용이 발생하는 점 등을 정책에 반영해 합리적이고 효율 적으로 성공적인 정책이 되도록 해야 함을 제안한다.

When confronted with the host states’ increasing enthusiasm of invoking the corruption defense as an arbitral strategy to frustrate foreign investors’ claims, the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) tribunals encounter realistic difficulties in arbitration. The inherent insufficiency of anti-corruption investigative powers bestowed to ICSID tribunals highlights the importance of constructing a coordinative mechanism between the ICSID and any domestic enforcement authorities enlisted to repudiate corruption. The enacted International Criminal Judicial Assistance Law of the People’s Republic of China provides the domestic legal basis for establishing a coordinative international criminal judicial assistance mechanism between such international organizations as ICSID and China’s domestic anti-corruption enforcement authorities. Eventually, the proposed ICSID-China’s anti-corruption mechanism will help the global community fight against international investment corruption in a coordinated way, substantially enhancing any host state’s ability to confront the on-going difficulties also experienced by investment arbitral tribunals.

This paper focuses on critical anti-corruption measures taken by the State of Kuwait and the international community, specifically as they relate to the implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC). Specific provisions of Nazaha Law, particularly those related to crimes and persons under its jurisdiction, are compared to the UNCAC, shedding light on the inherent advantages and disadvantages of the Law and whether the law constitutes a sufficient domestic anticorruption measure. By focusing on specific statutes and related jurisdictional matters, significant discrepancies between Nazaha Law and the UNCAC are noted. Kuwaiti legislators should immediately consider these discrepancies to ensure a more effective domestic policy in the global campaign against corruption. This paper comprises five parts including the Introduction and Conclusion. Part two will detail the various types of corruption covered by the Nazaha Law. Part three will focus on the persons covered under Nazaha jurisdiction. Part four will expound the issues of legal jurisdiction.

China’s Supervision Law is the legislation that governs China’s leading and fundamental approach to anti-corruption. Its main content includes the objective, guiding ideology, principle and leadership system of supervision work, the authority, formation and duties of the supervision committee, the supervision procedures, and the supervision of the supervisory organizations and supervisors. The Supervision Law embodies the characteristics of a combination of party rules and national laws. This power structure is completely different from the separation of powers in Western countries: it does not control power by checks and balances and civil rights. This raises concerns about “who will supervise the power of the Commission or a higher level of power,” “human rights protection” and “procedural issues.” The Supervision Law not only means significant changes in China’s anti-corruption legislation, but also those in China’s governance style, which will have a profound impact on China’s future political and legal aspects.

개미 사육 및 관찰을 위한 사용되는 투명 젤리형 개미사육장은 간편한 활용성으로 아동의 자연관찰 학습용 교구로 꾸준히 애용되고 있다. 하지만 투명 젤리는 다량의 수분 함유 문제뿐만 아니라 부패방지를 위해 단백질을 포함하고 있지 않기에 사육 시 단백질을 필요로 하는 산란용 여왕개미나 애벌레의 사육이 불가능하다는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 연구는 산란용 여왕개미와 애벌레의 사육이 가능한 단백질 함유 곤충 젤리를 만드는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 단백질 공급원으로는 우유를, 부패 방지제로는 천연물 기반 키토산을 사용하였으며, 기능이 첨가된 사육용 젤리의 항균성은 곤충 대량폐사 질병인 물렁병의 원인균주(Serratia marcescens)로 테스트(in vitro)하였다. 실험군인 곤충사육용 젤리는 박토아가(1.5%,w/v)가 함유된 키토산수용액(1%,w/v)에 1:1 용량비율로 우유를 섞어 제조하며, 대조군은 키토산수용액을 제외하였다. 제조 배지는 Serratia marcescens를 도말 배양하여 효과성을 검증하였다. 그 결과 3배 희석한 균주(4.8×106CFU/ml)를 접종 후 2일간 배양한 그룹에서 대조군(키토산 없음)은 균이 많이(TNTC) 자랐으나, 실험군(키토산 있음)은 전혀 자라지 않았다. 따라서 위 실험은 키토산을 첨가하는 간단한 방법으로도 유해균의 생장 억제와 유충의 성장 촉진이 동시에 가능한 기능성 단백질 곤충젤리의 제조 가능성을 확인하였다.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the determinants of corporate anti-corruption practice disclosure (ACPD) from the perspective of rent-seeking theory. Research design, data, and methodology - Data are hand-collected from corporate social responsibility reports (CSRR) issued by 724 A-share listed firms in China. This paper provides an empirical analysis of the relationship between ownership structure and corporate ACPD as well as its moderating role in the institutional environment. Results - Our findings indicate that rent-seeking is a key factor in influencing corporate ACPD. State-owned enterprises disclose significantly more anti-corruption information than private ones in order to achieve personal promotion of top executives. Monopoly enterprises reported significantly less anti-corruption information than enterprises in competitive industries due to their rent-seeking behavior. The reduction of government intervention and improvement of legal environment are helpful to curb corporate rent-seeking activities and enhance the level of corporate ACPD. Conclusions - Rent-seeking is an important factor in explaining corporate voluntary disclosure in emerging countries. Institutional environment also plays a moderating role in the relationship between ownership structure and corporate voluntary disclosure. Our results are of interest to policy makers, regulators and market participants that are interested in corporate voluntary disclosure and corruption prevention.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between the nature of controlling shareholders and corporate anti-corruption practice disclosure (ACPD) as well as the mediating role of political background of the chairman or CEO of the firm on the relationship between the two. The content analysis was conducted to extract ACPD from standalone corporate social responsibility reports (CSRR) of 703 China’s A-share listed companies. A dummy variable was constructed according to whether a firm disclosed ACPD or not. Logistic regression analysis was used then. Results show that the nature of controlling shareholders has a significant impact on corporate ACPD, with central enterprises disclosing the most frequently, local state-owned enterprises the second and private enterprises the least. Political background of the chairman or CEO has a negative impact on corporate ACPD of state-owned enterprises. These findings have some useful insights in understanding the rent-seeking behavior and information disclosure behavior of corporates in emerging markets. In order to curb the serious corruption problem which is commonplace in developing countries like China, the government should exert certain pressure to strengthen the supervision of information disclosure of listed firms and improve information transparency.
