Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to understand the rise, future and implications of two important new kinds of "integrity warriors" - official anti-corruption agencies (ACAs) and anti-corruption NGOs – and to locate them in a wider context and history of anti-corruption activity. Key issues of corruption and anti-corruption are discussed in an integrated and innovative way; through a number of country studies including Taiwan and South Korea, South East Europe, Fiji, Russia and the Baltic States. Some of the questions, used to examine the development of new anti-corruption actors, include: In what context were these born? How do they operate in pursuing their mission and mandate? How successful have they been in relation to expected results? To what extent are governmental and non governmental actors aware of each other and how far do they cooperate towards the common goal of fighting corruption? What explains the shift in emphasis after the end of the cold war, from national to international action? Governments, NGOs and Anti-Corruption will be of interest to students and scholars of corruption, public policy, political science, developmental studies and law. Luís de Sousa is an Associate Researcher at CIES-ISCTE, Portugal and Calouste Gulbenkian Fellow at the European University Institute, Italy. Barry Hindess is Emeritus Professor of Political Science at the Australian National University, Australia. Peter Larmour is a Reader in Public Policy and Governance at the Crawford School of Economics and Government, Australian National University, Australia.

This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the history, development, and current state of anti-corruption agencies in Latin America. In recent decades, specialized anti-corruption agencies have sprung up as countries seek to respond to corruption and to counter administrative and political challenges. However, the characteristics, resources, power, and performance of these agencies reflect the political and economic environment in which they operate. This book draws on a range of case studies from across Latin America, considering both national anti-corruption bodies and agencies created and administered by, or in close coordination with, international organizations. Together, these stories demonstrate the importance of the political will of reformers, the private interests of key actors, the organizational space of other agencies, the position of advocacy groups, and the level of support from the public at large. This book will be a key resource for researchers across political science, corruption studies, development, and Latin American Studies. It will also be a valuable guide for policy makers and professionals in NGOs and international organizations working on anti-corruption advocacy and policy advice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an important survey of the causes and current state of corruption across a range of nations and regions. Delving into the diverse ways in which corruption is being combatted, the book explores and describes efforts to inculcate principles of ethical conduct in citizens, private sector actors and public sector personnel and institutions. Corruption is a global condition that effects every type of government, at every level, and has bewitched scholars of governance from ancient times to the present day. The book brings together chapters on a range of state and regional corruption experiences, framing them in terms of efforts to enhance ethical conduct and achieve integrity in government practices and operations. In addition, the book addresses and analyses the theoretical and practical bases of ethics that form the background and historical precepts of efforts to create integrity in government practices, and finally assesses recent international efforts to address corruption on an international scale. This book will be perfect for researchers and upper level students of public administration, comparative government, international development, criminal justice, and corruption.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Business Ethics, Corporate Ethics, grade: 1,5, University of St. Gallen (Institute for Business Ethics), course: Business Ethics in a post-crisis global economy, language: English, abstract: Until twenty years ago, the mitigation of corruption was commonly regarded as a taboo topic. Companies were able to write off bribes as expenses in their tax statements and did so, frequently. At the same time, large amounts of development aid fell into the wrong hands and disappeared into dark channels, causing a desperate resignation by the many passionate people involved. When World Bank director Peter Eigen began to engage with ending the “systematic corruption” he saw in Eastern Africa, in order to protect the citizens involved, the World Bank intervened with a memorandum from its legal department. Since then, not only NGOs, but also international organizations such as the United Nations, supra-national bodies like the European Union (EU) and many national governments have enacted statements, policies and laws fighting all different kinds of corruption. Taking into account a PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) study from 2008, the common presence of corruption becomes strikingly obvious. In a survey conducted by PWC analysts, 63% of the interviewed senior executives answered they had been subject to some form of actual or attempted corruption; 45% said they had refused to enter a specific market or did not pursue a particular opportunity because of corruption risks; 39% claimed that their company had lost bids because of corrupt officials and 42% shared the opinion that their competitors paid bribes. The questions that arise with that are numerous. Are these initiatives helping to fight and reduce the problem? Are private (on a company level or through NGOs) or public initiatives more effective? What can be undertaken in order to improve the performance and effectiveness of these programs? When comparing the different kinds of anti-corruption initiatives several assumptions can be inferred: firstly, governmental regulation, backed by legal action, seems to be the most powerful tool since severe sanctions such as prison sentences can be put into place. Secondly, initiatives that are backed by the private sector should have the necessary firepower due to funding and presence. Lastly, NGOs can serve as catalysts for both public and private initiatives in the best case, encouraging accountability and progress within a project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that it is time to step back and reassess the anti-corruption movement, which despite its many opportunities and great resources has ended up with a track record that is indifferent at best. Drawing on many years of experience and research, the authors critique many of the major strategies and tactics employed by anti-corruption actors, arguing that they have made the mistake of holding on to problematical assumptions, ideas, and strategies, rather than addressing the power imbalances that enable and sustain corruption. The book argues that progress against corruption is still possible but requires a focus on justice and fairness, considerable tolerance for political contention, and a willingness to stick with the reform cause over a very long process of thoroughgoing, sometimes discontinuous political change. Ultimately, the purpose of the book is not to tell people that they are doing things all wrong. Instead, the authors present new ways of thinking about familiar dilemmas of corruption, politics, contention, and reform. These valuable insights from two of the top thinkers in the field will be useful for policymakers, reform groups, grant-awarding bodies, academic researchers, NGO officers, and students.
