SNC-Lavalin
Captured or Complicit? SNC-Lavalin and the Normalization of Corruption in Canada
From: Corporate Rules
$2.20
In this chapter, Steven Bittle and Jennifer Quaid examine the SNC-Lavalin scandal and the normalization of corruption in Canada. Bittle and Quaid use three key moments in the evolution of the SNC-Lavalin Group affair that reveal the assumptions that underpin the state’s response both to this case and corporate corruption in general. They argue that this recent scandal demonstrates how the primacy of private enterprise is baked into the very architecture of government decision making. This was not a problematic moment in the relationship between states and corporations but instead a reflection of how they interact in ways that makes it increasingly difficult to discern where the private realm ends and where the public interest starts.
