La corrupción representa una amenaza fundamental para la estabilidad y la prosperidad de México, y combatirla requiere de enfoques tanto prácticos como basados en principios. En 2017, el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) aprobó el proyecto ME-T1351 para apoyar a México en su lucha contra la corrupción utilizando la innovación abierta. Así, el BID se asoció con el Laboratorio de Gobierno de NYU para apoyar a la Secretaría de la Función Pública de México en la identificación de soluciones innovadoras para la medición, detección y prevención de la corrupción en México usando la metodología de innovación abierta del GovLab llamada Crowdsourcing inteligente. El propósito del Crowdsourcing inteligente era identificar soluciones concretas que incluyen el uso de análisis de datos y tecnología para enfrentar la corrupción en el sector público. Este documento contiene 13 planes de implementación que presentan formas prácticas de abordar la corrupción. Los planes surgieron de “Crowdsourcing inteligente anticorrupción”. El método de Crowdsourcing inteligente es un proceso ágil que comienza con la definición sólida de problemas, seguida de la...

Encouraging Ethics and Challenging Corruption

Autor: Noel Preston , Charles J. G. Sampford , Carmel Connors

Número de Páginas: 226

Encouraging Ethics and Preventing Corruption brings theory and practice together in addressing the question: How are we to be ethical in public life and through public institutions? It is a major contribution to public sector ethics within Australia and internationally because it provides an exhaustive analysis of reform across a decade in one jurisdiction, Queensland, and then proceeds to itemise a best practice integrity system or ethics regime. Drawing on the extensive research of two of Australia's leading practical ethicists, this text is essential reading for all students and practitioners of applied and professional ethics in the public sphere. Part A of the text provides a preferred theoretical and conceptual framework which both justifies and guides the development of a public sector ethics regime. Part B examines the place of the individual within a world of institutional ethics. Part C outlines the Queensland governance reforms introduced since 1989 following the Fitzgerald Inquiry which exposed corruption in the police and ministry. The final chapter, the 'Epilogue', gathers the insights of earlier chapters and suggests a more explicitly ethics-centred approach to...

Fighting Corruption in Asia

Autor: John Kidd , Frank-jrgen Richter

Número de Páginas: 424

Fundamental changes within economies are needed to create arm''s-length relations between governments, corporations, and banks. We are taking risks when investing in the future, and risk-taking demands openness and truthfulness from the agents we employ. If investors and accountants can concur on the degree of disclosure that is morally right we may come to some global agreement on what constitutes corruption OCo but to do this we have to bring together those who advocate profit-making with those who see this as usury; and we have to care for the future in novel ways OCo unknown in the past OCo so as to allow firms to be locally inefficient (apparently) while preserving the environment. This book looks widely at the prevailing situation in Asia and considers how little some governments are doing to guide their institutions towards probity and transparency. While fundamental changes are needed around the globe, it is in the developing nations that there is scope for radical change in the near future, as their institutions are re-created to meet the modern world. Once developed and functioning their managers will have the opportunity to facilitate and re-direct the institutions in...

Corruption... How can policymakers and practitioners better comprehend the many forms and shapes that this socialpandemic takes? From the delivery of essential drugs, the reduction in teacher absenteeism, the containment of illegal logging, the construction of roads, the provision of water andelectricity, the international trade in oil and gas, the conduct of public budgeting and procurement, and the management of public revenues, corruption shows its many faces.

Cadres and Corruption

Autor: Xiaobo Lü

Número de Páginas: 388

The most up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of corruption and change in the Chinese Communist Party, "Cadres and Corruption" reveals the long history of the party's inability to maintain a corps of committed and disciplined cadres. Contrary to popular understanding of China's pervasive corruption as an administrative or ethical problem, the author argues that corruption is a reflection of political developments and the manner in which the regime has evolved. Based on a wide range of previously unpublished documentary material and extensive interviews conducted by the author, the book adopts a new approach to studying political corruption by focusing on organizational change within the ruling party. In so doing, it offers a fresh perspective on the causes and changing patterns of official corruption in China and on the nature of the Chinese Communist regime. By inquiring into the developmental trajectory of the party's organization and its cadres since it came to power in 1949, the author argues that corruption among Communist cadres is not a phenomenon of the post-Mao reform period, nor is it caused by purely economic incentives in the emerging marketplace. Rather, it is the...

Charting Corporate Corruption

Autor: Peter Fleming , Stelios C. Zyglidopoulos

Número de Páginas: 173

In the post-Enron era, corporate corruption has increasingly featured on the research agenda. This informative book provides a novel approach by charting the actual causes of corruption. This highly topical volume demonstrates how agency (the decisions and choices of individuals) and structure (the contextual pressures in the business environment) can interact to result in the rapid escalation of corporate crime and corruption. By analysing and describing the social psychological dimensions of this escalation, the book prescribes preventive measures that can be adapted and implemented by business organizations. Loaded with case studies and prospective solutions, Charting Corporate Corruption will be valuable to post-graduates studying business ethics, sociology and psychology, and to researchers seeking new theories and concepts in this field.

Measuring and Reducing the Impact of Corruption in Infrastructure

Autor: Charles Kenny

Número de Páginas: 42

This paper examines what we can say about the extent and impact of corruption in infrastructure in developing countries using existing evidence. It looks at different approaches to estimating the extent of corruption and reports on the results of such studies. It suggests that there is considerable evidence that most existing perceptions measures appear to be very weak proxies for the actual extent of corruption in the infrastructure sector, largely (but inaccurately) measuring petty rather than grand corruption. Existing survey evidence is more reliable, but limited in extent and still subject to sufficient uncertainty that it should not be used as a tool for differentiating countries in terms of access to infrastructure finance or appropriate policy models. The paper discusses evidence for the relative costs of corruption impacts and suggests that a focus on bribe payments as the indicator of the costs of corruption in infrastructure may be misplaced. It draws some conclusions regarding priorities for infrastructure anti-corruption research and activities in projects, in particular regarding disaggregated and actionable indicators of weak governance and corruption.

Treatment of corruption in Festus Iyayi's "The Contract"

Autor: Abdullahi Haruna

Número de Páginas: 21

Academic Paper from the year 2008 in the subject Literature - Africa, , language: English, abstract: Corruption has been considered endemic to Nigeria. How do Nigerian literary artists depict this social illness in their literary works? This article examines the treatment of corruption in Iyayi’s "The Contract". The discourse focuses on the social levels at which corruption is manifested and the effects of corruption on individuals and the society as depicted in the novel. The results will indicate that the novel exposes some identified social ills which become endemic when political and institutional leaders put aside their responsibilities of nation building and succumb to the lure of lucre. Specifically, the leaders depicted in this novel use the awards of contracts ostensibly for nation building as blinds for corrupt self-enrichment and embezzlements of public funds.

L'Argent facile

Autor: Gilles Gaetner

Número de Páginas: 421

Un mal ronge la démocratie française : la corruption. Passe-droits, dessous de table, marchés occultes, fausses factures, délits d'initiés, « pantouflage », le règne de l'argent-roi a engendré l'argent facile. La République a, certes, de tout temps, eu ses scandales. Mais, ces dix dernières années, l'épidémie s'est étendue, atteignant les professions les plus diverses, contaminant l'État lui-même, discréditant - par les fautes de quelques-uns - le monde politique tout entier. Conçue comme un dictionnaire, l'enquête de Gilles Gaetner est le premier livre de référence sur ce sujet. Multipliant les révélations, les détails inédits, les rappels inattendus, « L'Argent facile » dresse l'inventaire des lieux, des personnes, des affaires et des institutions concernés par la corruption. De Nice à Nancy, de Paris à Lyon, de Marseille à Angoulême, de Nantes à Papeete, le tableau est sombre et accablant. Bâtiment, santé, justice, politique, journalisme, notariat, finance, sport, etc., aucun milieu n'est épargné. La démocratisation de la corruption fait le lit des ennemis de la République. Décrivant aussi ceux qui luttent contre le mal, le répriment et ...

Corruption in Public Administration

Autor: Davide Torsello

Número de Páginas: 278

Despite the growth in literature on political corruption, contributions from field research are still exiguous. This book provides a timely and much needed addition to current research, bridging the gap and providing an innovative approach to the study of corruption and integrity in public administration. The volume contributors provide insights from nine different countries, all drawing on extensive fieldwork data and following ethnographic methodologies. The topics discussed in this book include: the role of anti-corruption legislation; organizational change and morality; party corruption; socio-cultural dimensions of corruption; clientelism and patronage. Analyzing these topics comparatively, the volume concludes that in countries where public perception of corruption is high, citizens are well aware of the generalized damage of these practices and the loss of trust they cause for public administrations. On the other hand, corruption in public administration takes place following patterns that mirror some of the fundamental social and cultural features that characterize interactions among citizens and institutions. Scholars and students of the fields including public policy,...

La corruption

Autor: Jean-louis Rocca

Número de Páginas: 122

Luttes d’influence, mafia, « affaires », pots-de-vin, fausses factures, népotisme. Aucun pays n’est épargné, qu’il s’agisse de ceux du Nord, du Sud ou de l’Est. Toutefois, la corruption recouvre des phénomènes extrêmement différents suivant les contextes. Elle a un rôle économique, politique et social, qui, selon certains, n’est pas forcément négatif. Peut-elle, par exemple, se substituer aux carences de l’Etat et jouer dans les pays du Sud un rôle de moteur de développement ? Mais si elle est parfois créatrice de richesse, la corruption ne relève-t-elle pas de l’informel, de l’arbitraire et de l’utilitarisme pur ?

Fighting Corruption in Uganda

Autor: Augustine Ruzindana , Petter Langseth , Arthur Gakwandi

Número de Páginas: 198

Uganda's political leadership has identified itself with the fight against corruption. It has strengthened the investigative machinery of government as well as the judicial system; and the press have been free to inform the public about wrong doing. Against this background a seminar was convened by the Inspector General of Government in 1994, for representatives of the integrity system in the country. This seminar led to workshops in 1995 and 1997 during which an action plan was agreed. The essays in this volume are selected contributions to the seminar and workshops - ranging from the critical voices of academics and journalists, to the problems ofinvestigators, and to reflections on the ethics of accountability, transparency and the civil obligations of citizens.
