7345. Compliance and Enforcement, Problems In

This seminar will explore in depth topics in compliance, and the role of public authorities in improving the behavior of organizations and their agents. The course assumes a basic knowledge of the principles that have been developed in the general corporate context. We will explore specific applications of those principles to new settings, seeing where the lessons of compliance by US corporations can apply to public sector organizations (e.g. police) and cross-national conduct (e.g. climate change, international sports). We will also consider the use of new methodologies to enforce compliance, from surveillance technologies to social media shaming campaigns. The goal of the course is to familiarize students with the range of tools and their creative application to achieve positive social change on any scale, from the local to the global. Suggested preparation: LAW7480, LAW7553, or LAW7554.
