Still a relatively nascent field, SNBC interventions typically address social norms that make corruption acceptable or expected, and attempt to influence behaviours away from corrupt practices.  \u0000The guidance is based on lessons learned from a largely successful pilot project in Tanzania that targeted social norms fuelling bribery (\"gift giving\") in health facilities and attempted to change the behaviours of both health care providers and users away from exchanging gifts. Survey results showed a 14–44% decrease in gift-giving intentions, attitudes and positive beliefs among hospital users following the pilot intervention. \u0000The guidance covers: \u0000 \u0000How to identify when a SNBC approach is suitable \u0000Essential background research needed to design anti-corruption SNBC interventions \u0000Frameworks to formulate theories of change \u0000Specific elements to build into SNBC interventions \u0000What practitioners should expect when embarking on an SNBC intervention \u0000Ways they can help build evidence and understanding of SNBC approaches in the anti-corruption field. \u0000 \u0000About and acknowledgements \u0000This publication was supported by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

{"title":"Working Paper 38: Cryptocurrencies in Asia and beyond: law, regulation and enforcement","authors":"Federico Paesano, Dorothy Siron","doi":"10.12685/bigwp.2022.38.1-69","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12685/bigwp.2022.38.1-69","url":null,"abstract":"The crypto industry has exploded in recent years, and authorities in different countries have been reacting in very different ways. Some have banned cryptocurrencies, while others are embracing them to varying degrees. Some are working hard to align their anti-money laundering regulations with FATF standards, while others are turning a blind eye. A few countries have confiscated huge quantities of crypto assets linked to crime and money laundering. Others are at square one in terms of enforcement, risking becoming a hub for crypto crime and money laundering and posing a serious vulnerability in the world’s financial system. \u0000This Working Paper draws on a detailed analysis of how selected countries are addressing legal, regulatory and enforcement issues around cryptocurrencies and other virtual assets. The analysis is focused on Asia, but set in the context of global trends in crypto law, regulation and enforcement. It explores critical questions that will shape policies around virtual assets at the corporate, national and international levels: \u0000 \u0000What is working in terms of crypto regulation and enforcement? \u0000What are the implications of different policy choices on crypto assets – for the industry, for the countries themselves and for global financial integrity as a whole? \u0000What would the crypto wave possibly bring next? \u0000 \u0000The Paper also highlights broader developments needed to bring light and clarity to laws, policies and practices around the crypto industry, such as collaboration between both market players and governments. \u0000Jurisdictions touched upon in this Working Paper alphabetically include Bhutan, Central African Republic, El Salvador, Hong Kong SAR, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Myanmar, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, the Philippines, the People’s Republic of China, Thailand, Ukraine and Vietnam. \u0000A list of key terms and abbreviations have been prepared in the Annex to this Working Paper for the readers’ easy reference. \u0000About this Working Paper \u0000This Working Paper is a collaboration between Dorothy Siron, Co-Managing Partner, Zhong Lun Law Firm LLP and Federico Paesano, Senior Financial Investigation Specialist, Basel Institute on Governance. \u0000Dorothy Siron provided the bulk of the analysis and discussion, while Federico Paesano provided a selection of case studies and was co-author of the seven recommendations contained in section 4.

It will also ensure that the very reason for targeting the assets in the first place – namely to seek justice and compensation for acts of aggression – is not undermined through the erosion of the rule of law.","PeriodicalId":447485,"journal":{"name":"Basel Institute on Governance Working Papers","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133595392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
