2000 Annual Conference

November 30th and December 1st.

"Transnational Crime, Corruption & Information Technology"

The information revolution has brought both positive and negative changes to business, international affairs and daily life. This conference will examine the negative impact and reaction to the criminal exploitation of these new technologies by addressing the harms corruption and criminals cause. Threats to the growth of this new technology and its democratizing impact will be examined, as well as creative solutions and preventative strategies for business, public sector and multinational organizations. Included in the discussion will be an examination of the role of the state, the issue of regulation, and the challenge of balancing both public and private interests against the potential of the misuse of the new technology. Within this context, the conference seeks to:

· Develop a clearer understanding of the problem that incorporates the views of the private sector, Congressional leaders, academia, law enforcement, and experts from non-governmental organizations.

· Provide a forum for discussing how transnational crime and corruption might threaten both current and new technologies, firms, and other institutions.

· How trends in information technology (IT) development affect both transnational criminal activity and crime prevention

· Bring together prominent experts and policymakers for a frank discussion of issues that will promote creative solutions to these problems.

The conference will draw upon the Center for the Study of Transnational Crime and Corruption's (TraCCC's) successful model of multidisciplinary and multinational research initiatives to assemble constructive and thought-provoking panels. Furthermore, the conference will serve as the basis for future research and training materials for TraCCC and the Schools of International Service and Public Affairs at American University in the emerging fields of transnational crime and corruption.
