So impressed by the ingenuity and number of counter-kleptocracy policy plans coming out. Here are the ones I've seen, would love to know if I've missed any!
Kicking off w @HudsonInstitute @KleptocracyIntv @NateSibley & @b_judah 70 stellar recommendations! https://www.hudson.org/research/16608-countering-global-kleptocracy-a-new-us-strategy-for-fighting-authoritarian-corruption

Then there's the fantastic and hyper-detailed take from @gmfus @SecureDemocracy @JoshRudes on how to get Treasury focused on knocking out kleptocracy. https://securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/treasurys-war-on-corruption/
But how can State get set up to ensure anti-corruption is a central pillar of U.S. foreign policy? @CarnegieDCG @abigail_bellows has the answer! https://carnegieendowment.org/2020/07/01/regaining-u.s.-global-leadership-on-anticorruption-pub-82170
. @SamanthaJPower who has been nominated by President Biden to run @USAID has also highlighted the need for the USA to wage "a high-profile fight against corruption at home and abroad." https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/united-states/2020-11-20/samantha-power-can-do-power
The world's premier counter-kleptocracy journalist @cjcmichel has also provided some great thoughts on how the USA can regain its historic mantle as global anti-corruption leader—particularly through the passage of new legislation. https://newrepublic.com/article/160461/biden-foreign-corruption-make-kleptocrats-fear-america
And while not 100% focused on kleptocracy, @humanrights1st Blueprints for a Human Rights-Centered Foreign Policy emphasizes the need to aggressively curb corruption at home and abroad and expand Global Magnitsky sanctions. https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/campaigns/2021-policy-blueprints
What would I still LOVE to see?
- A deep dive on DOJ similar to the @JoshRudes Treasury and @abigail_bellows State pieces
- A piece on Congress and the potential for the issue to build bipartisanship (maybe I'll write this!)
- A plan looking at the transatlantic elements
