Governments are spending trillions of dollars to contain the spread of COVID-19 and mitigate economic consequences of sweeping lockdowns. But as populations rely more than ever on public officials to perform their duties with integrity, reports of fraud and personal gain linked to the coronavirus response are surging.
Democracies and dictatorships alike are sidestepping important anti-corruption safeguards in the scramble to obtain medical equipment and prop up collapsing economies. Developing countries are acutely vulnerable, with health care systems and other vital institutions already weakened by decades of pervasive corruption. The United States' competition with China threatens to exacerbate this situation as the Chinese Communist Party expands its global influence through bribery and economic coercion.
Join Hudson Institute for a conversation about how the coronavirus pandemic has created a perfect storm for global kleptocracy that urgently requires U.S. leadership to prevent the response from being undermined by a new era of transnational corruption.
NATO members Lithuania, Denmark, Estonia, and Poland have led the way in both backing Ukraine’s defense and bolstering their own capabilities. But no country has shown more courage and tenacity than Ukraine itself. These countries' parliamentary chairs will join Hudson’s Peter Rough to discuss what to look for at the Vilnius summit.
This event will discuss the failed policy of 2-percent inflation, the restoration of a true monetary base, checks and balances on the Federal Reserve, free market interest rates, and other fundamental reforms to America’s ailing money regime.
Please join Hudson Institute Asia-Pacific Security Chair Dr. Patrick Cronin for a conversation with Ambassador Fick on the intersection of strategy, technology, and diplomacy.
