Abstract Dramatic moves have occurred in countering transnational crime since the turn of the twenty-first century. Binding international agreements, such as the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, and the Convention against Corruption, are examples of nearly universally adopted principles and mandates that were difficult to foresee a generation ago. What is less clear is the extent to which these moves indicate true progress, versus actions and efforts that will ultimately be ineffective. This paper assesses significant changes over the last 20 years in responding to transnational organized crime, corruption and global injustice, and points to several efforts to evaluate their effectiveness. Specific content areas are identified in which ongoing evaluation is needed at the intersection between the urge to take action and the patience to evaluate.

反跨国犯罪和腐败：敦促采取行动与耐心进行评估

摘要自二十世纪初以来，打击跨国犯罪已发生了戏剧性的变化。具有约束力的国际协议，例如《联合国打击跨国有组织犯罪公约》和《反腐败公约》，是近代普遍采用的原则和授权的例子，这些原则和授权在一代人之前很难预见。目前尚不清楚这些举动在多大程度上表明了真正的进展，而行动和努力最终将是无效的。本文评估了过去20年中在应对跨国有组织犯罪，腐败和全球不公正方面的重大变化，并指出了评估其有效性的若干努力。
