Opis

Although it is important for governments to do more to prevent the spread of misinformation, the importance of whistleblowers in corporate governance cannot be overestimated. The truth is: whistleblowing saves lives and resources. But it is totally unrealistic to expect that individuals can protect the public interest when they have no reliable legal shield covering them from retaliation. It is therefore necessary for governments to drastically reduce the growing influence of large, private organizations in order to make better decisions that protect, empower and motivate whistleblowers to continuously act for the public good."The Basics of Whistleblowing" contains a comprehensive analysis of whistleblowing, protected disclosures, motivation and retaliation, among other concepts. It also presents an indebt discourse on whistleblower protection laws, guidelines and procedures in the United States and EU Member Countries (including the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, France, etc.). The primer is a must-read for students, researchers, employees, and lovers of policy-related books.
