Likewise, a similar set of arguments holds for foreign anticorruption statutes such as the US FCPA
more broadly. Specifi cally, the government of Myanmar should look favorably on bids by fi rms based in
jurisdictions with strong antibribery laws and enforcement, thereby “piggy-backing” on the more rigorous
standards of foreign partners; if fi rms that fall under the jurisdiction of those governments (whether they
be headquartered in that country or not) while in Myanmar violate those countries’ anticorruption laws,
then the government of Myanmar can appeal to those foreign governments for support in prosecuting
corrupt activity. When evaluating potential foreign participants in resource extraction the government of
Myanmar should take into account whether those fi rms are subject to the laws of the United States, the
European Union, or other jurisdictions with strong antibribery laws and histories of extraterritorial legal
cooperation, and give preference to those fi rms (regardless of nationality) whose behavior in Myanmar
will be constrained by anticorruption statutes elsewhere. In short, Myanmar should use international
initiatives such as EITI and FCPA to leverage its reform eff orts while building its indigenous institutional
capacity.
