Corruption in Latin America: A New Era of Collaboration Agreements?

Latin American countries like Brazil and Argentina have recently adopted “U.S.-inspired” plea bargain and leniency mechanisms, sometimes leading to unprecedented advances in the fight against corruption (i.e., Lava Jato). Yet the quality of these instruments varies substantially across jurisdictions, and some countries seem hesitant to embrace them. Are these forms of collaboration a precondition for building a stronger anti-corruption environment? How do they impact policy and business? Should we expect more countries to adopt them? If so, what are the lessons learned from places like Brazil?

This event is part of AS/COA’s Anti-Corruption Working Group series.

This event will be in English and Portuguese. Translation will be available.
