Coercive Foreign Contract Conditioning State
Class
0cccb147
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#CoerciveForeignContractConditioningState
Definition
State in which a foreign government official explicitly conditions both future contract awards and cooperative performance of a current contract on the engineer's compliance with a local gift-giving practice, creating coercive pressure that links professional business continuity to ethically impermissible conduct. The coercive element distinguishes this from mere awareness of local custom: the professional is explicitly threatened with business loss and operational obstruction if the practice is not followed, intensifying the pressure to deviate from home-country professional ethics standards.
