LABURPENA: Zigor zuzenbideak ustelkeriaren kontrako borrokan izan behar duen paperak osagarria behar du izan, baina ez esklusiboa edo baztertzailea. Zigor zuzenbidea ez da nahikoa ustelkeriari aurre egiteko, eta arriskua dago zuzenbidea bera eta zigor prozesua usteltzeko, oinarrizko berme batzuk baztertuta. Zigor zuzenbidea ezinbestekoa da ataza horri aurre egiteko, baina prebentziozko beste gizarte eta, bereziki, lege neurri batzuk hartu behar dira, alegia: gardentasuna, aurretiazko eta geroko kontrol eragingarri profesionalizatuak … Ikuspuntu hori oinarri izaki, testuak zenbait figura aztertzen ditu euren hutsuneak eta aukerak detektatzeko, ustelkeriarekin lotutako jarrerak jazartzeko garaian. Figurok hauexek dira: batetik, zigor zuzenbide substantiboan, zigor zuzenbidearen azken aldaketak, konfiskazioa; bestetik, zuzenbide prozesalean, aldiz, justizia azkartzeko neurriak edo damutuak; eta azkenik, zuzenbide organikoan, berriz, fiskaltza eta herri akzioa. RESUMEN: El papel del derecho penal en la lucha contra los fenómenos de corrupción ha de ser complementario y no exclusivo o excluyente. Sólo con derecho penal no solo no se vence a la corrupción sino que se corre el peligro de corromper al mismo derecho y proceso penal laminando algunas de sus garantías básicas. El Derecho penal es imprescindible para esa tarea pero ha de acompañarse de otras medidas preventivas más eficaces tanto sociales como singularmente legales: transparencia, controles eficaces previos y posteriores profesionalizados… Desde ese punto de partida el texto hace un recorrido por algunas instituciones de derecho penal sustantivo (últimas reformas penales, decomiso); procesal (medidas de agilización, arrepentidos) y orgánico (ministerio fiscal, acción popular) para revisar sus déficits y posibilidades en la represión de conductas ligadas a la corrupción. ABSTRACT: The role of Criminal Law in the fight against corruption phenomena has to be complementary and not exclusive or excluding. With just Criminal Law not only the corruption is not won but there is danger that the same Law and Criminal procedure get corrupted by grinding some of their basic guarantees. Criminal Law is essential for that purpose but it has to be helped by preventive measures more efficient both socially and specifically legal: transparency, professional ex ante and ex post efficient controls. From that start, the text shows some of the substantive Criminal law institutions (last criminal reforms, confiscation), procedural law institutions (measures for facilitation, repentants) and organic law institutions (public prosecutor office, popular action) in order to review their deficits and possibilities in the punishment of those behaviours linked to corruption.

The UN Security Council increasingly authorizes weapons inspections to enforce nonproliferation. These are cases of indirect governance, where the Council (the governor) relies on separate bodies (intermediaries) to conduct inspections in states of concern (targets). Despite the risks, the Council often seems willing to forego control in return for gaining the benefits of a competent intermediary that can address its ambitious policy goals and capability deficits. These cases point to important differences between preexisting intermediaries (such as the IAEA and OPCW) and ad hoc intermediaries created for specific tasks (such as the inspection commissions that operated in Iraq). The latter are far more amendable to control, both ex ante and ex post. Over time, we see increasing goal divergence between the governor and intermediaries, driven mainly by the shifting interests of Security Council members, but we also see the competence of intermediaries increase as they gain on-the-ground experience, making control more difficult. The collective nature of the Security Council further complicates control efforts, creating a temptation for individual members to interfere unilaterally with intermediaries and targets. The analysis suggests that the role of sovereign, strategic targets deserves more attention in the study of indirect governance at the international level.

ABSTRACTThis paper is concerned with the theory of resilience pricing and sustainability measurement in the presence of risk for regime shift in a dynamic economy–environment system. Following Holling (Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, vol. 4, 1973, pp. 1–23), we consider resilience as the maximal perturbation that the system can absorb without flipping into a qualitatively different state. Using a multisector growth model under uncertainty, we derive the shadow price of resilience that affects the probabilities of the system to flip in the future. We also analyze the role of resilience on sustainability with both ex-ante and ex-post welfare measures.

This paper examines frictions in contract renegotiation and its implications for allocative efficiency of contracts. Using a novel audit study methodology, we find that contracting parties in general are reluctant to engage in hold up. However, many efficient renegotiations of contracts also do not happen for the fear of being seen as extracting surplus. We also find that ex ante contracts are structured to mitigate losses arising from breach risk rather than hold up. The results also highlight that role of norms of fairness and reputation concerns in sustaining transactions in settings where contracts are primarily incomplete.

This article engages with two themes of contemporary EU governance: the role of evaluations within an effective and coherent policy–making process and the EU's constitutionalised commitment to promoting gender equality in all its activities (Article 8 TFEU). It focuses on the interface between ex ante and ex post evaluation and the contribution of evaluations to policy learning, with particular attention to the promotion of gender equality. A case study approach is followed, with EU research policy as the object of analysis.

Preventive measures are coercive criminal law enforcement institutions, aimed at the deprivation or restriction of individual liberty, by which the suspect or defendant is prevented from undertaking certain activities that would adversely affect the conduct of the criminal proceedings or the achievement of its purpose. They have been instituted by the legislator for specific purposes, namely: to ensure the proper conduct of criminal proceedings, to prevent the abstraction of the suspect or defendant from trial and to prevent the commission of new offenses (art. 202 para. 1 of the Criminal Procedure Code). Preventive measures are not inherent in any ongoing criminal trial, but are exceptional measures (art. 9 para. 2 of the Criminal Procedure Code), and the court can decide to sease the measure or make use of the measure in the light of the specific circumstances of each case. Of the five preventive measures, three are deprivation of liberty - detention, house arrest and pre-trial detention, and two are non-custodial: judicial control and judicial control on bail. All these measures are only applicable to the natural person. Specific preventive measures may be taken against legal persons, but those are regulated by the provisions of art. 493 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

Criminal procedure is increasingly becoming an important instrument of prevention. This is a globally observed tendency, and Poland is not an exception. There are several regulations in the Polish Code of Criminal Procedure that allow the preventive use of coercive measures. In 2020, a new and controversial regulation was introduced, authorising the public prosecutor or court to prohibit the publication of content interfering with the legally protected goods of the victim. The author criticises the new preventive measure as duplicating civil law injunctions and expresses the opinion that, in criminal procedure, preventive measures should be used to prevent crime, not every illegal activity. In addition, the article describes the criminal procedure for isolating persons obliged to quarantine themselves because they have tested positive for Covid-19 or had contact with infected persons. This raises the question of the limits of the preventive function of provisional arrest and possible abuse of the criminal process using it for aims unrelated to the traditional goal of the criminal process: determining the question of guilt of the accused.

This work critically assesses the legal nature and practice of the institution of bringing as a defendant in criminal proceedings in Russia, particularly in its relation to the substantive legal act of bringing to criminal responsibility. The author argues that, due to the general bureaucratization of the process, both the first and second acts have actually lost their original purpose to be the determining material and procedural guarantee of individual and justice in criminal proceedings. Objectifying as a legal fiction, the act of bringing the accused as an accused in the doctrine of Russian criminal procedure law, done directly in practice, is increasingly characterized as an accusation of duty, initial, intermediate, and final, which respectively form the ideas of duty, intermediate, initial, and investigative-final criminal prosecution. This negates the role of the named defining acts. Hence, the paper suggests an optimal mechanism for their implementation according to the purposes and tasks of substantive and procedural law
