New forms of conflict between individual private interests of public officials and their public duties can arise as the public sector becomes increasingly commercialised and works more closely with the business and non-profit sectors. Governments need to ensure that public officials perform their duties in a fair and transparent way. These OECD guidelines provide the first international benchmark in this field, which aim to help governments review and modernise policies designed to prevent public sector conflict of interests and corruption. The report reviews OECD trends and includes selected case studies which consider innovative practices adopted, and key elements of legal and institutional frameworks. The countries covered are Australia, Canada, France, Germany, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal and the United States.

Conflict of interest occurs at all levels of governance, ranging from local to global, both in the public and the corporate and financial spheres. There is increasing awareness that conflicts of interest may distort decision-making processes and generate inappropriate outcomes, thereby undermining the functioning of public institutions and markets. However, the current worldwide trend towards regulation, which seeks to forestall, prevent and manage conflicts of interest, has its price. Drawbacks may include the stifling of decision-making processes, the loss of expertise among decision-makers and a vicious circle of distrust. This interdisciplinary and international book addresses specific situations of conflict of interest in different spheres of governance, particularly in global, public and corporate governance.
