Emerging Trends in Asset Recovery

Street protests in the �Arab Spring� countries have illustrated that public demand for recovering stolen assets has grown exponentially, as have expectations by concerned populations and governments.From a topic discussed in expert forums, it has thus become a topic of the people. The question is: Have practitioners and policy makers delivered on these expectations?Clearly, since the ratification of the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) ten years ago, much progress has been made in streamlining respective legal and institutional frameworks. On the other hand, we also find that practical successes on the ground remain few and far apart, and largely limited to a handful of countries.This book asks why and, through the voice of renowned practitioners from a broad range of affected countries, analyses challenges that remain, identifies new stumbling blocks that have cropped up, and discusses practical solutions that are being tested with a view to overcoming these.The book is published by the Basel Institute on Governance�s International Centre for Asset Recovery (ICAR).Emerging Trends in Asset Recovery 1st Edition is written by Gretta Fenner-Zinkernagel; Charles Monteith; Pedro Gomes Pereira and published by Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften.
