Cornelia Woll on Corporate Crime and Punishment
Cornelia Woll's book argues US prosecutors increasingly rely on out‑of‑court settlements to enforce corporate criminal law beyond its borders, turning fines into a tool of geopolitical leverage. Data shows foreign companies, which represent only 16 % of cases from 2000‑2020, bear 57 % of total penalties, often paying fines six times larger than domestic firms. The strategy has prompted reactions such as the EU’s Anti‑Coercion Instrument and similar moves in China, reshaping global legal sovereignty. Woll warns that overt power politics could undermine the normative force of US‑led enforcement.
