DESCRIPTION:As International Relations scholars have been drawn to the stu
 dy of global governance\, their field of vision has come to overlap with t
 he increasingly internationalised conduct of public policy. This lecture e
 xplores this dynamic in analysing an unprecedented new international moral
  and legal rule that forbids one state from hosting money stolen by the le
 aders of another state. The aim is to counter grand corruption or kleptocr
 acy\, when leaders of poorer countries loot billions of pounds at the expe
 nse of their citizens\, and transfer the money to rich host countries. Tha
 nks to the new international rules\, these host states now have a duty to 
 block\, trace\, freeze and seize these illicit funds\, and hand them back 
 to the countries from which they were stolen. The lecture explains how thi
 s anti-kleptocracy regime came about\, how well it is working\, how it cou
 ld work better\, and the broader implications for the study of internation
 al politics and policy.\nThe lecture will take place from 5pm\, followed b
 y a drinks reception in the atrium of the Alison Richard Building.\n\nIf y
