Abstract
In this chapter we describe how the scope of bribery-like provisions has been extended in different countries and in different ways: they have extended their coverage to authorities that used to be excluded from it; the regulation of campaign finance and political candidates’ behaviour also seems to be on the rise; the implementation of concepts that used to be controversial in some constitutional systems, such as trading in influence, seems to be the norm today. From a legal point of view, particular attention will be paid to these three different aspects: the bribery of members of parliament or municipal councils; the bribery of political candidates and the expansion of political finance laws; the introduction of trading in influence and conflict of interest regulations in national legal systems.
