Using a formula that worked well in a previous Institute-sponsored project, we are planning a two session conference entitled Corruption - Private and Public, though particular emphasis will be placed on the latter. The first session will be held on September 7-8, 2001; the second will take place in May, 2002.

The first conference, which is expected to be informed by work in the history of ideas, philosophy, and political theory will be devoted to an exploration of the evolution of as well as the diversity in understandings of the ideas of private and public corruption. The second conference, benefitting from the first, will have two foci: on the one hand, lawyers will consider issues of statutory reform; on the other, social scientists will examine the dimensions of public corruption in the modern world, in particular its effects on economic and political development.

Participants in the first conference will include:

• Hon. John T. Noonan, Jr., United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and Judge James J. Clynes Jr. Visiting Professor of Law, University of Notre Dame.
  
  
• Peter Euben, Professor of Politics, University of California-Santa Cruz.
  
  
• Arlene Saxonhouse, Professor of Political Science, University of Michigan.
  
  
• Paul A. Cantor, Professor, Department of English, University of Virginia.
  
  
• Edwin G. Burrows, Professor of History, Brooklyn College, CUNY.
  
  
• Shelley G. Burtt, Author of Virtue Transformed: Political Argument in England, 1688-1740
