Why do some societies manage to control corruption so that it
manifests itself only occasionally, while other societies remain
systemically corrupt? This book is about how societies reach that
point when integrity becomes the norm and corruption the exception in
regard to how public affairs are run and public resources are
allocated. It primarily asks what lessons we have learned from
historical and contemporary experiences in developing corruption
control, which can aid policy-makers and civil societies in steering
and expediting this process. Few states now remain without either an
anticorruption agency or an Ombudsman, yet no statistical evidence can
be found that they actually induce progress. Using both historical and
contemporary studies and easy to understand statistics, Alina
Mungiu-Pippidi looks at how to diagnose, measure and change governance
so that those entrusted with power and authority manage to defend
public resources.
