“…Such abuse is potentially able to affect both private and public organisations with impacts ranging from hampering economic development to weakens democratic regimes. Corruption is still a pervasive phenomenon that affects, in diverse ways and intensity, the entire globe implying political, social, economic and environmental costs (Gray & Kaufman, 1998). Shleifer and Vishny (1993) argued that corruption is analysable along two propositions: the structure of government institutions and the level of taxation.…”

This paper proposes a systematic literature review emphasising scholars' view on the impact of the adoption of blockchain technologies to fight corruption. Providing a deep understanding of the state of the art, the paper drafts implications and valuable insights to address future research. The connection of anticorruption policies and blockchain technologies has been investigated using Scopus database and ABS journal ranking. The importance assumed by anticorruption policies and the innovativeness of the blockchain technology, thanks to its characteristics of immutability, automatic timestamping and distributed architecture, needs to be investigated in an integrated perspective. This study provides for the first time a systematic connection among anticorruption practices and blockchain towards the lens of the business, management and accounting field, providing valuable implications, insights and emerging issues.

“…Sanctions are imposed by international organisations such as the UN (Pasculli, 2012) or the WTO (cf. Manacorda and Grasso, 2018;Grasso, 2019a) and by states, either in implementation of international obligations or autonomously (Bradshaw, Chapter 8; cf. also Smith and Dawson, 2018).…”

Where were we?Our previous book Corruption in the Global Era (Pasculli and Ryder, 2019a) aimed at improving our understanding of the global causes, means, forms of perpetration and effects of corruption through an interdisciplinary dialogue between academics and practitioners, taking advantage also of the partnership between the Financial Crime Research Network (FCRN) at the University of the West of England and the Global Integrity Research Network (GIRN) at the Centre for Financial and Corporate Integrity (CFCI) of Coventry University. This volume complements those studies by focusing on global and local regulatory responses to corruption. It is not a handbook or a commentary, but a research book aimed at advancing the still limited assessment of the effectiveness of anti-corruption laws (cf. Isenring, Chapter 14) and enriching the scarce British literature on corruption and financial crime (cf. Ryder, 2018a: p. 247). Many of the authors are practitioners and the approach is still interdisciplinary: different fields of the law (criminal law, tax law, European law, corporate law, competition law), as well as issues in ethics, criminology, restorative justice, governance and political philosophy are covered. The perspective is international and comparative. The book explores not only international regulations but also their implementation in different countries, such as the United Kingdom (UK), the United States (US), Italy, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Nigeria.This chapter brings together the findings of this book and formulates recommendations for future policies and research. One of its purposes is precisely to coordinate such findings with those of our previous research. Therefore, remands to our own works are not selfcongratulatory, but necessary to avoid reiterating arguments and references already expressed elsewhere. In the first section, we will outline the sources of the current global anti-corruption framework and their limits. In the second section, we will illustrate the shortcomings of negative anti-corruption measures, while in the third we will analyse positive measures. In the fourth section, we will articulate some recommendations. Finally, we will draw our conclusions.
