Currently, there are three approaches to reinforce the implementation and enforcement of OECD Anti-Bribery Convention; a top-down approach, a bottom-up approach, and a voluntary approach. The analysis of the Japanese case of lagging implementation of OECD Anti-Bribery Convention in contrast with United States tells the lessons of limitation of these three approaches. Also, the analysis of socio-economic and political background of Japan shows another reason for lagging implementation. This paper draws two recommendations to move its lagging legs forward: strengthened whistleblower protection and encouragement of domestic NGOs., Special Issue on Institution Design for Conflict Resolution and Negotiation : Theory and Praxis (February 1-2, 2014, Nagoya, Japan)}, pages = {263--285}, title = {Acts Sanctioning Foreign Corrupt Practice as a Legal Instrument for the Control of Corruption : An analysis of the policy implementation process of the OECD Anti-bribery Convention in Japan}, volume = {258}, year = {2014} }
