ABSTRACT
This chapter considers the rules that govern—and ought to govern— interactions between political actors and anticorruption enforcers across international borders. Those rules determine both whether politicians are able to influence international anticorruption enforcement and whether international anticorruption enforcement affects foreign political processes. The motivating example is President Donald Trump's attempt to influence Ukraine's investigation of Joe and Hunter Biden. Other examples include Brazil's Operation Car Wash and the prosecution of BAE Systems. The basic argument is that it is justifiable for countries to take different approaches to regulation of these sorts of international interactions between law enforcement and political processes.
