CHAPTER

Corruption and Power: Shifts in U.S. Policy

This chapter examines the drastic changes in U.S. anti-corruption policies following the Trump administration, particularly the weakening of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. It discusses how these changes affect American businesses and foreign officials, enhancing the power of kleptocratic regimes while complicating the efforts of smaller enterprises. Additionally, the chapter highlights the intertwining of oligarchic interests with U.S. foreign policy, especially concerning Ukraine, and the broader implications for democracy and ethical governance.
