Inhaltsangabe

This volume takes a look at the status quo of whistleblowing in several jurisdictions from around the world. Covering a topic that draws the attention of a broad public and is gaining importance amongst legislators, practitioners and scholars all over the globe, the book examines the various aspects of whistleblowing.

The chapters of this book were originally prepared for the XIXth International Congress of Comparative Law (20^th and 21< sup=""> July 2014) of International Academy of Comparative Law in Vienna.
