Challenging Corruption in Asia

Publisher: World Bank Publications
Release Date: 2004
"Challenging Corruption in Asia provides an analytical framework to explore and attempt to answer these questions. Drawing on their experience as public policy advisors and implementers of anticorruption programs, the authors outline a six-step approach to developing effective anticorruption strategies tailored specifically to a country's pattern of corruption and conditions of governance. Case studies are written by researchers and policy advisors from Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and South Korea. Together, they illustrate the impact of country-specific patterns of corruption and governance on anticorruption effectiveness. Emphasis is placed on choosing anticorruption instruments suited to the governance environment, on the key roles played by anticorruption champions, especially civil society organizations and the media, and on the need to make information on the extent and perceptions of corruption widely available." --Résumé de l'éditeur.

Corruption is a disease that can sweep through a society like a tidal wave, leaving in its wake a trail of negligence, lethargy, inefficiency and callous disregard of man’s inhumanity to man. What is it like to live inside such a society? Why has it taken such strong root in so many countries? Is there no sense of outrage and shame against such a phenomenon among our elite? What can be done to stem the tide? Is it corruption as it is known in the West? These disturbing questions and more are answered in this book. Corruption in all its forms, bribery nepotism and extortion, is shown for what it is – a major cause of the dehumanization and victimization of innocent people. The corrupt have no aspirations for the betterment of their societies. For this reason, all decent people must be gravely concerned with the problem and nurture the next generation to confront the corrupt and disrupt their way of life.
Corruption and Development in Asian Nations
"Corruption and Development in Asian Nations" examines the pervasive issue of corruption in Asia, ranging from local officials' demands for accommodation to multi-million dollar bribery by corrupt politicians. We explore how corruption affects various sectors, including job-related abuses, future job delivery in the private sector, and issues faced by law-abiding government employees. The book also covers topics like money laundering and ‘white elephant’ projects that benefit engineers and their political allies. Divided into four main sections—corruption and the state, corruption and economic development, corruption and society, and corruption control—this book discusses theories, stories, and trends of corruption and anti-corruption reforms in Asia. We compare and contrast corruption in different social and institutional contexts, examining both successful and unsuccessful efforts to control it and the lessons learned from these experiences. This comprehensive guide appeals to students and scholars of Asian, political, and social sciences, offering valuable insights into the complexities of corruption and its impact on development.
