****************Invitation to a seminar****************"Approaches for Fighting Corruption in Developing Countries"
Tulane Institute for International Development (TIID) invites you to its April Seminar under the 1999 Tulane International Development Seminar Series.
Speaker: Ed Anderson (Management Systems International)
The development literature on corruption is extensive and, until recently, has been primarily descriptive. During the early 1990s the emphasis shifted away from descriptions of the problem to cross-country corruption surveys and analyses of the causes and consequences of corruption. The emphasis has now shifted further to approaches for dealing with the corruption problem. The speakers will discuss their recent experiences assisting in the development of anti-corruption strategies in East Asia and in the Ukraine.
Time & Date: The seminar will commence at 5.30 p.m. and end at 7.00 p.m. on Thursday April 22nd.
Venue: Tulane Institute for International Development 901 N. Stuart Street, Suite 1100 Arlington, Virginia 22203 (Ballston Metro; Street parking, and parking in 901 North Stuart available)
This seminar is free and open to all, if you would like to attend the seminar: RSVP is required by Tuesday, April 20th Telephone: (703) 243-0871 or e-mail: mailto:mmotoya@mailhost.tcs.tulane.edu
