▼ Corruption has been identified as an area of grave concern in most societies, including Namibia. For Namibia, the fight against
corruption is not simple, but it is an economic and social issue. If allowed to persist,
corruption has the potential to reverse the remarkable progress and successes recorded since independence in 1990. Also, it can contribute towards budget deficit, thereby fuelling inflation Because of its negative effects, the GRN has introduced several anti-
corruption mechanisms and strategies to nip it from the bud. These are the Offices of the Auditor General and the Ombudsman, the Anti-
Corruption Commission and the Namibia Police, to mention but a few. In the Namibian context, anti-
corruption mechanisms and strategies refer to public policies, laws and institutions that came into being to combat
corruption Notwithstanding these institutions,
corruption thrives in the Namibian society. Incidences of
corruption had been reported in the GRN departments, State-owned enterprises and the private sector. Among these are flouting of tender regulations, favouritism, accepting of bribes, nepotism and extortion. However, it is critical to mention that
corruption is likely to persist because officials who are not necessarily committed to fight
corruption are heading some of public and private entities. The paper concurs with those stating that
corruption exists in Namibia although it is not yet embedded in the system. This remains a serious concern for all responsible citizens For this reason, the paper examines the efficacy of the GRN's anti-
corruption strategies and mechanisms in order to suggest possible solutions/steps in strengthening the existing ones with a view to halt occurrences of corrupt mal-practices To win this battle, it is critical to implement a holistic approach that involves all stakeholders, namely the Government, non-governmental organisations, civil society and the public sector. It is a well-known fact that no single Government has ever eliminated this menace alone. To achieve this, co-operation and co-ordination among stakeholders becomes necessary.

▼ Corruption has been one of the major factors affecting the social, moral, political and
mainly economical aspects of developing countries including Ethiopia. In order to avoid
the harm being caused by this practice, creating an aware society can be taken as a first
step. For achieving this purpose TV spots are being produced by the Federal Ethics and
Anti
Corruption Commission. And it is important to know how meaning is been made
and what the audiences reception towards these TV spots is.
As central to this study, how audiences make meaning out of the TV spots and the factors
contributing for reception process are dealt. For refereeing as frame works, facts about
corruption are presented to provide a compiled contextual picture of the case both in
international and national level. Comparative with other audience- message – media
theories the active audience theory, which emphases on the audiences involvement in
reception process, is used as a theoretical frame of the study.
Qualitative research method, which is believed to be appropriate for audience reception
studies, is used as a methodology. Textual analysis, focus group discussions and in-depth
interview are deployed to undertake the study. Sampling of the TV spots to be textually
analyzed is performed based on the time intervals in which the TV spots are broadcasted.
And samples for comprising respondents were formed standing from the TV spots
content and from the encoder‟s information.
The results of this study revealed that the previous attitude and understanding

▼ The present study examined the differences between Blacks and Whites’ perception of cronyism on the part of others. I also attempted to determine whether Whites and Blacks alike viewed cronyism as a means by which racial disparities are perpetuated in society. In that event, I expected participants to judge cronyism on the part of others as more normative when beneficiaries were White, as opposed to Black, regardless of race (Hypothesis 1). In fact, only Black participants viewed pro-White cronyism as more normal than pro-Black cronyism; White participants reported no differences. Further, I expected moral justification to reflect group-serving biases, such that participants would morally justify cronyism more when it benefits their ingroup than when it benefits outgroup members (Hypothesis 2). In fact, Blacks and Whites alike judged cronyism as more morally justified when Blacks benefited, as opposed to when Whites benefited. This suggests that both groups acknowledged White’s historical cronyism advantage by judging its continuation as more immoral. Finally, I expected that regardless of race, Black cronies would be selected over White cronies, due to Whites' motives to avoid bigotry and Blacks' motives to advance racial equality. This hypothesis was fully supported. Thus, Black participants supported each hypothesis, whereas Whites only supported my third hypothesis. Implications of the findings for the importance of investigating cronyism are discussed.

The Trident of Corporate Corruption Control: Implications and Effects.
Degree: 2018, University of North Texas

▼ Corporate
corruption is a widespread phenomenon that persists in the functioning of both public and private companies of differing size, performance, industry, and national origin. As it generates negative effects both within and outside the organization, corporate
corruption has been the
subject of scholarly research. Yet, despite attempts to understand its antecedents and consequences, companies continue to struggle to eliminate
corruption in their business practices. Thus, the overarching research question for this dissertation is "Why do companies continue engaging in
corruption?"
To answer this research question, I focused on the topic of organizational
corruption control, i.e., a set of mechanisms that purposefully target the prevention of corrupt practices within an organization. Specifically, I investigated the trident of organizational
corruption control via its effects and implications on three constructs - corporate social performance, opportunity attractiveness of organizational
corruption and corporate
corruption recidivism. Using distinct methodologies, I examined corporate
corruption control in three separate studies to address 1) the effect of
corruption control on the opportunity attractiveness of organizational
corruption 2) the effect of
corruption control on corporate social performance and 3) the implication of ineffective
corruption control on organizational
corruption recidivism. Based on interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives and several secondary data sources, the hypothesized effects were empirically tested and insights were derived from a multiple case study approach.
The three studies used different firm samples. Study 1 was based on the data of the United States enforcement actions for violations of the 1977 Foreign Corrupt Practice Act (FCPA) formally prohibiting foreign bribery; firm-level data from the Bloomberg terminal; and a country-level measure from Worldwide Governance Indicators. In Study 1 (N=71 firms involved in foreign bribery), results supported hypotheses that regulatory sanctioning in host countries and bureaucratic controls at a firm level were negatively correlated with
corruption opportunity attractiveness. Furthermore, vigilance controls help strengthen negative effect of bureaucratic controls on
corruption opportunity attractiveness. Study 2 was based on reports of anti-
corruption programs of the world's largest companies from Transparency International, corporate social performance scores from CSRHub, and firm-level financial indicators from the Bloomberg terminal. The findings of Study 2 (N=102 firms) supported hypothesis that corporate
corruption controls positively affect Sustainable Resource Management, a sub-dimension of CSP. Importantly, the use of a cross-lagged design helped to specify that the relationship between
Corruption Controls and CSP dimensions is not reciprocal (2-way) as was previously discussed in the literature. Study 3, was based on 6 cases of
corruption recidivists identified via FCPA enforcements' database, and utilized data from court…

▼ This study attempts to explore the current situation of
corruption in water supply and sanitation
sector and
corruption depraving environment as well as the current status and institutional
bottlenecks in fighting
corruption in Fitche Town. To this end, the study employed mixed
approach, which involves both quantitative and qualitative data gathering tools. This survey was
conducted over 385 respondents in Fitche Town using multistage cluster sampling. Key
informant interview and questionnaires were mainly used to collect data. The study reveals
corruption remain problem in the town water supply sanitation sector service delivery and petty
corruption is the very most common and serious challenge in the town water and sanitation
sector. In relation with this community face different challenges like poor quality of service and
lack of productivity. Besides community involvement in decision making as well as fight against
corruption is less. At the end, the Study provides certain points which help to minimize the
impact of
corruption on water supply and sanitation sector as well as to fight against it. These
are setting systems and structures that can reduce incidences of
corruption and ensure efficient
delivery of services, use modern information communication technologies, awareness creation,
support the participation of stakeholders,erection strong Cooperation between governmental and
non-governmental actors, developing institutional anti-
corruption strategy as well as include
and implement codes of conduct which help to fight against
corruption.

▼ Corruption is a global phenomenon which every society faces though its degree of severity varies
from country to country. Despite its long history, there is no single universally agreed upon
definition of
corruption. Moreover, its causes, forms and impacts are diverse and multi-faceted.
Understanding
corruption by itself is a complex undertaking. However, it is agreed that
corruption is inimical to public administration, undermines democracy, degrades the moral
fabrics of the society and violates human rights. The pain of
corruption touches all the human
family but it disproportionately affects the vulnerable sections of the society. It reinforces
discrimination, exclusion and arbitrariness.
Corruption is a universal problem undermining
universal value- human rights.
The international legal regime against
corruption takes a political and economic view point in
addressing
corruption. The measures adopted are not sufficient to give response to victims of
corruption. The anti-
corruption conventions did not address the human rights impact of
corruption while it violates different set of human rights. Moreover, the monitoring mechanisms
of the anti-
corruption conventions are weak even to implement the covenant provisions.
The thesis advocates for the elevation of the human right to
corruption-free service as a panacea
to the weaknesses of the anti-
corruption conventions. Investigation of the existing literature on
the relationship between
corruption and human rights reveals that
corruption per se is a
violation of human rights and hampers the global movement for the enforcement of human rights
on the one hand and a culture of human rights can be a preventive tool for
corruption on the
other hand. The problem of
corruption and the violation of human rights need an integral
approach. It is with this view that the human right to
corruption-free service is put forward to
give meaning to the integral approach. Besides, the right to
corruption-free service is an end in
itself rooted in human dignity and equality like the right to life, privacy and security.
Setting the fight against
corruption within a human rights discourse by elevating
corruption-free
service as a human right, will open an additional avenue for the fight against
corruption and
opens a door for the realization of human rights. It is argued that the right to
corruption-free
service is both a means for reducing
corruption and instrumental for the enforcement of other
human rights. In addition, the existing human rights monitoring mechanisms such as
international and regional human rights commissions and courts, UN complaint mechanisms or
national human rights systems will be useful to remedy corrupt practices if
corruption free
service is recognized as a human right.

▼ Although the study of public sector
corruption has gained momentum in recent years, knowledge gaps remain in the theoretical understanding of systemic
corruption in the post-secondary educational context. This thesis intends to outline a broad systemic
corruption framework which includes both indicators of
corruption and drivers that facilitate its development. Factors such as the attitudes towards
corruption, economic development, competition with the private sector, the degree of discretion and the opportunity spaces, are explored to develop hypothesis about the causes and possible solutions to systemic
corruption. The thesis grounds the framework in the analysis of Ukraine’s tertiary education sector as its case study. The public post-secondary institutions in Ukraine have been
subject to anti-
corruption efforts, but have remained largely immune to them. The argument is that reforms and anti-
corruption efforts in any sector must identify and address all of the facilitative factors if they are to be successful.

▼ Objective: This dissertation evaluates and critiques a widely-cited scale that seeks to measure governmental susceptibility to
corruption. The Center for Public Integrity in Washington, DC, formulated a risk assessment scale and then applied it to all 50 states. This dissertation examines that scale’s conceptual, methodological, and statistical aspects and suggests ways to improve it. Method: The indicators from the assessment’s scales are broken down conceptually, in terms of both historical and contemporary relevance, and the data are analyzed to determine their reliability and validity. Results: Many indicators used to assess risk of
corruption are not justifiable conceptually or statistically. Deficiencies stem largely from simplistic and archaic understandings of how
corruption occurs, as well as substantial problems of reliability and validity. For example, defining redistricting processes as a substantive predictor of
corruption is untenable in a contemporary setting. Conclusions: Future risk assessment tools should be refined to place greater emphasis on procedures leading to
corruption, while paying less attention to evaluating levels of transparency.

▼ An examination into
corruption within Africa reveals that certain factors make it different than those shown in Europe, and particularly those countries that rely on one or two major sources of natural resources such as Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, tend to exacerbate

▼ Economic and bureaucratic reforms have shaped China's political economic framework since 1978. Although these reforms made long periods of economic growth possible, new challenges arose in the form of often collusive
corruption. This dissertation will explore the relationship between economic and bureaucratic reforms and shifting types of
corruption in China between 1992 - present

▼ Corruption is on the agenda of the Ethiopian societies including residents of Addis Ababa. Some people have sayings and verbal encouragements to those who changed their economic life through
corruption. Some others stand against it though their number seems insignificant. It is to have the real picture of the position where the residents of Addis Ababa stood this research was initiated. So that it raised some relevant questions. How do the people of Addis understand and perceive
corruption? Do they recognize it as a problem that obstacles their personal and national development? Are they fighting or adapting it? Why in either case? What is the linkage between culture and
corruption?
Quantitative and qualitative methods of research were applied in the data generation procedure. 500 questionnaires were distributed to randomly selected respondents in all the ten Sub Cities of Addis Ababa with almost 83 % return. A heterogeneous Focus Group Discussion was conducted and in-depth interviews were held with six key informants.
The findings of the research showed that the people of Addis Ababa recognized
corruption as a major problem that hinders their personal and national economic problem. Both the qualitative and quantitative data showed there is no social sector or institution free of
corruption but the government with its constituencies plays the leading role in getting infected with and diffusing
corruption. Residents of Addis have both positive and negative reactions against
corruption. They have the mentality of fighting it with the old values and norms still retained but contributing to diffuse and promote it mostly out of lost hope and lack of protection by the system. The societies in Addis Ababa have values that disapprove
corruption but they also have encouraging gestures and appreciating paroles be it in despair or in choice.
In general, the research showed that the residents of Addis Ababa are not just showing their thumbs only one way, i.e., up or down to
corruption. Most of them are against it regardless of their

▼ The crux of the research problem is to postulate a discourse that the anti-corruption mechanisms as stipulated in the Anti-Corruption Act (Act No. 8 of 2003) are not adequate enough to combat corruption. The main objective of the paper is to examine these mechanisms in order to support the above argument. The other objectives are to draw lessons from previous anti-corruption institutional and legal framework and other best practices. To strengthen the argument, literature review was done on the types of corruption, causes of corruption, effects of corruption and the key elements of a successful anti-corruption strategy. A planning, monitoring and evaluation model, developed for the World Conservation Union, was used to provide a theoretical framework for the implementation of the anti-corruption mechanisms in Namibia. The research findings that were arrived at support the research problem as postulated above, i. e. that these mechanisms are not
adequate to combat corruption. The conclusions drawn from these findings are that although these mechanisms seem to be strong on the investigation of corruption and the protection of whistleblowers, for the most part, they seem to be thin on some key issues, like the level of seniority of the Director and powers to prosecute. The key recommendations of the paper are that firstly, there is a need to come up with a comprehensive anti corruption strategy that is underpinned by investigation, prevention, public education and institution building and secondly, that the anti-corruption programme should be implemented on the basis of the planning, monitoring and evaluation model referred to above and that the legislation process should be one of the activities of the programme

▼ Korruptsiooni on peetud üheks suuremaks majandust pärssivaks probleemiks, mis levib kiiresti ja takistab majanduse arengut. Korruptsioon läheb majandusele väga palju maksma. Näiteks on hinnatud, et pistise andmise ja võtmisega seonduv, mis on vaid üks korruptsiooni vorme, läheb aastas maksma üle triljoni USA dollari, mida on veidi enam kui oli Hollandi SKT aastal 2019. Korruptsioon riigis ei ole vaid majanduslik nähe, seda võib iseloomustada ka kui tulemust – kui riigi seadusandlike, majanduslike, kultuuriliste ja poliitiliste institutsioonide peegelpilti. Seega on korruptsiooni võimalik käsitleda kui institutsioonide toimimisriket ja selle erinevaid külgi tuleks enne ebasoodsate tagajärgede leevendamiseks lahenduste pakkumist põhjalikumalt uurida.
Vaatamata sellele, et korruptsiooni ei ole selle keerukuse tõttu võimalik ühe väitekirjaga lõpuni uurida, annab see doktoritöö huvitava ülevaate korruptsiooniga seotud uurimisprobleemidest – vaadeldes erinevaid seoseid korruptsiooni ja ettevõtete vahel. Selle töö raames uuritud intrigeerivad küsimused kõlavad näiteks nii: „Kas korruptsioon leiab aset ainult era- ja avaliku sektori vahel või võib see toimuda ka erasektori sees? Missugused mehhanismid ja kaalutlused sunnivad firmajuhte korruptiivseid vahendeid kasutama? Kas on mingeid erinevusi välismaiste ja siseriiklike omanikega firmade korruptiivses käitumises? Kas korruptsiooni tüüp mõjutab firma tegevust?“ See väitekiri proovib selliste küsimuste tõstatamisega anda erasektori korruptsioonist tervikpildi, mis saab alguse korruptsioonile eelneva otsustusprotsessiga ja lõpeb tagajärgedega firma tulemustele. Selle väitekirja, mis koosneb neljast empiirilisest juhtumipõhisest uurimusest, eesmärgiks on anda põhjalik ülevaade korruptsiooni isiklikumast poolest – firmajuhi otsuse langetamise protsessist kuni tagajärgedeni, mida see endaga firma tegevusele kaasa toob. I ja II uurimus tegelevad juhtimise rolli uurimisega seoses korruptsioonisuunaliste kaalutluste ja kalduvustega, III ja IV uurimus keskenduvad korruptsiooni mõju tagajärgede uurimisele firma tulemustele. Oluline on märkida, et uurimustes on peamiselt kasutatud andmeid endistest kommunistlikest maadest, kus korruptsioon on laialt levinud probleem. Seega võivad uurimuste tulemused aidata tõsta teadlikkust sellest visalt kaduvast probleemist ja valida sellistes riikides korruptsioonivastaseid toimimisstrateegiaid.;
Corruption is considered as one of the most important epidemic issues and crucial barrier against development of the economies. Economic cost of
corruption is enormous. For example, bribery, as just one form of
corruption, is estimated to cost annually over 1 Trillion USD which is slightly larger than Netherlands GDP in 2019.
Corruption is not only economic phenomenon in the country, it can be considered as result—a reflection of a country’s legal, economic, cultural and political institutions. Therefore,
corruption can be treated as an institutional dysfunctionality and multi-faceted features should be thoroughly studied for proposing a solution to…

▼ Although the connection between innovation and corruption has been ubiquitous since the middle of the twentieth century, scholars have yet to establish an exact nature of this relationship: some researchers have found that corruption can boost the innovation level via removing the rigid obstacles to investment and foster innovation which eventually greases economic growth. Conversely, others demonstrated that corruption could deter innovation levels and the adverse relationship between corruption and innovation can slow down economic growth. This complex and controversial relationship encouraged us to further investigate the interaction between the two across many countries and over several years. To this aim, our first empirical chapter addresses the relationship between corruption and innovation. Unlike usual approaches, we apply two proxies to represent innovation and they are divided into: 1) innovation inputs, where a fixed effects method has been used, and 2) innovation outputs, where a random effects method has been used. The results show that corruption could sand the wheel of innovation inputs, yet, it shows no impact on innovation outputs. In conclusion, innovation inputs are adversely affected by corruption. Therefore, governments should establish anti-corruption campaigns as well as focus on minimizing corruption by implementing laws and regulations that discourage any attempts to corruption. The second empirical paper studies the effect of neighbouring corruption on home country innovation and, furthermore, examines neighbouring innovation impact on the home country corruption. Two Stages Least Squares method and random effects method have been used respectively to address these issues. The empirical evidence demonstrates that neighbouring corruption harms home innovation, as well as being adversely affected by neighbouring innovation. Additionally, geographical closeness between capital cities can increase corruption in both countries (neighbour and home country). Also, neighbouring openness acts as a hindrance to home country corruption, and it can help reduce corruption. Thus, we can conclude that countries can be affected by their neighbours’ levels of corruption, and that it is challenging to remain uncorrupted while surrounded by corrupted countries. To minimize the harmful effect of contagious corruption on home innovation therefore, governments should set strict laws and regulations at the borders. The third paper empirically investigates the influences of English Language, trade openness and corruption on innovation outputs, namely on research productivity, by using mixed models. Our empirical results show that both trade openness and corruption are adversely related to research productivity. However, the results also demonstrate that countries which have English as an official language are more active in the research field in terms of citations than those countries in which English is not an official language. On the other hand, in terms of publications the results showed that countries with…

▼ This paper revisits the idea that higher percentages of women in government reduce the overall perceived
corruption in a state. Using data on 175 countries between 2001 and 2011, mixed evidence on women's influence on
corruption is found. Basic regression results suggest that a greater proportion of women in government reduce the level of
corruption. However, accounting for differences between countries reveals that women in parliament have no specific effect on the level of
corruption. Potential explanation for this are discussed but remain unsolved.

▼ This paper discusses the rulers during the next anti-
corruption decisions, taking into account how people with vested interests and the interests of the state, to maximize their support, come when the rulers themselves are clean, its anti-
corruption efforts in determining the level hearts of the people would be more biased; But when the rulers themselves have their own vested interests, its anti-
corruption efforts in determining the level, then there are three possible situations: (1) Representing favoring vested interests;(2) Will first favoritism and vested interest itself in the same camp, again consider the people, and finally considerations are not the same camp other vested interests;(3) First favoritism are not the same camp other vested interests, consider again the people, and finally consider itself in the same camp with vested interests.
Furthermore, when the media more freedom (that is, people will offer to those in power and enhance anti-
corruption efforts at the level of government functions), those in power in determining the level anti-
corruption efforts, the heart would be more favoring vested interests.
Finally, the anti-
corruption activities affect the interests of those in power vested interests of the
subject, although the use of political resources may cause some impact on the anti-
corruption decisions of those in power, but vested interests themselves have to pay a lot, so it knows when the vested interests of those in power during the anti-
corruption decisions will favor when comparing to it, it will not use its political resources; but if those in power in deciding anti-
corruption action would be more people favor, in this state, the vested interests of both there is a risk of power through anti-
corruption action to recover those in power, and therefore have an incentive to use their resources to influence the political rulers of anti-
corruption action.

▼ The study's main objective is to assess whether government could be justified for having repealed the Law on abuse of office which was provided for under the abrogated Anti-Corruption Commission Act No. 42 of 1996. Before the repeal of the law in November, 2010, Governments' intentions were preceded by a lot of public debate. Most members of the public, civil society organisations and opposition political parties felt that Governments' move was not legitimate because the law which was targeted for repeal was said to have proved its efficacy in fighting corruption. Government, however, was of the view that the said law was a duplication of other already existing laws in other statutes, for instance, that it was adequately provided for under the Penal Code, Cap. 87 of the laws of Zambia. Furthermore, Government was of the view that Section 37 of the repealed Anti Corruption Commission Act No. 42 of 1996 was in contravention with the Zambia Republican Constitution. In repealing the Act, Government claimed that it was set to harmonise the anti-corruption laws with international instruments and standards.This study has reviewed that for lack of political will to fight the corruption scourge, most African governments have resorted to diluting laws which appear to be effective in the fight. This is because the laws on abuse of office make leaders to answer for their wrongs once they leave office. Most leaders can not resist the temptation of helping themselves from state coffers, hence, would do everything to unmake good laws which would haunt them.This paper concludes that Government's reasons for repealing the law on abuse of office where not justified.

▼ Corruption in the production and trade of timber from Nepal’s
Tarai forests is a historically narrated but little investigated
phenomenon. This research explores how various actors interpret,
define and practice corruption at different stages of timber
trade chains from the three main forest governance and management
regimes – government, community and private forests. It focuses
on three key questions: 1) the forms and level of corruption; 2)
the actors involved in corruption, their motivations, and
institutional arrangements and processes enabling them; and 3)
anti-corruption responses.
The research applies a case study approach, and uses a value
chain framework to structure the analysis of timber production
and trade from two Tarai districts. It employs mixed methods,
based primarily on qualitative analysis supported by quantitative
data. Individual interviews (n=143), focus group discussions
(n=10), observations, and a review of official documents and
records, were used to collect and triangulate data.
The research suggests that timber governance in Nepal’s Tarai
is characterised by systemic, institutionalised and decentralised
corruption, in which multiple, mutually-reinforcing corrupt
practices, including bribery, fraud and theft, patronage and
favouritism, illegal pressure, and conflicts of interest, occur
as common phenomena along the timber trade chains from all major
forest governance and management regimes. In many instances,
corruption has involved illegal forest activities that resulted
in unsustainable management of forests and reduced revenues to
government and communities. Community forests experience a higher
degree of corruption than government-managed forests, mainly due
to the weak accountability structures of community forest
governance.
The core actors engaged in timber-related corruption comprise
forest officials and local political and economic elites; they
have forged a nexus at the local level, and maintained relations
with other powerful social actors from local to central levels,
through bribes and political networks. Many of these actors
perceived some forms of corruption and illegal forest activities
as acceptable behaviours, and rationalised them in various terms.
Such perceptions and rationalisations have ultimately
facilitated the perpetuation of corruption.
Despite comprehensive legal-institutional arrangements and strong
civil society engagement, the response to corruption in Nepal in
general, and in the timber sector in particular, has been
ineffective; this failure is attributed to issues in both the
design and enforcement of anti-corruption strategies. Some of the
anti-corruption measures applied in the timber sector have led to
negative social, economic and ecological consequences, and have
become counter-productive for corruption control. The…

▼ Corruption as a systemic phenomenon is usually attributed to developing states and their weak institutional capacity to impose rule of law. However, unlike the predominant view which isolates state affairs to a national domain, alternative view states that when countries are becoming more financially and economically interdependent, they are inevitably faced with transnational issues which infuse their domestic sphere. This thesis continues to research
corruption in a global context and particularly studies how neoliberal, i.e. pro-market and de-regulation norms and policies which dominated certain advanced economies’ spheres for the past decades, affect their institutional capacity to impose rule of law to control foreign
corruption. A case study between Germany and the United States is conducted to test this theory and finds that the neoliberal policies and norms contribute to these countries’ struggle to impose adequate control even when
corruption directly affects their domestic spheres. Yet, due to their institutional differences, their capabilities diverge in an interesting fashion.

▼ This thesis argues that both organised crime and corruption involve individuals facing similar economic and social incentives to engage in and expand the scale of corrupt and/or criminal activity. Despite these similarities, and in spite of the substantial increase in contemporary academic and popular interest in the problems of organised crime and corruption, the majority of political and economy studies of these problems focus on one phenomenon in isolation. This thesis examines the market for protection as an area where the two converge. It does so by taking a rational theory of criminal organisations as producers of protection, and extends that theory so that it is able to account for the organisational motivation and structure of both criminal and corrupt protection. This model is capable of conducting the kind of simultaneous analysis required to understand how and why individuals engage in and cooperate with each other in corrupt or criminal activity. It also reveals the factors and conditions that influence the degree to which such actions become integrated and entrenched.
This model is then refined using theories of social capital to incorporate the role of social incentives, roles and identities while remaining rooted in rational principles. The result is a socio-economic model of protection which is compatible with both the organised crime and corruption literatures, which serves to fill a gap between those two literatures, and which also which provides an example of one area in which rational and social theories of politics can be productively combined. The importance and usefulness of such an approach is illustrated in the context of police corruption, in a general comparative analysis of Russia and Italy, and with specific reference to police corruption in Australia. The development and application of the model also reveals incidental policy-relevant insights and avenues for future research, and reinforces the value of adopting an approach that allows for the simultaneous analysis of the problems of corruption and organised crime.

▼ KKN, an Indonesian acronym denoting corruption, collusion and nepotism (korupsi, kolusi, nepotisme), encapsulated popular resentment against the authoritarian Soeharto regime during the financial and political crisis of 1998. Public demands to control widespread corruption were transformed into a set of legislation enacted between 1998 and 2002. Because corruption was endemic in existing law enforcement agencies, the centrepiece of the new legislation was the establishment of a new and independent agency to enforce them. Since 2004, this new entity, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), equipped with a broad mandate in both prevention and enforcement, has spearheaded the government’s efforts against corruption. It has done so more effectively than any previous attempts in Indonesia and more successfully than comparative studies of specialized agencies in other developing countries would predict. This thesis examines the factors contributing to the KPK’s initial success.
My research applies a theoretical framework derived from new institutional economics with reference to the growing body of literature on anti-corruption agencies. The analysis is based on a detailed review of legislation and associated policy documents. Application of the new laws by the KPK and its impact on formal and informal institutions is examined by drawing on semi-structured interviews during 2009 with more than sixty decision-makers and observers including academics, NGOs and donor agency representatives. These data are supported by content analysis of selected Indonesian media.
This study finds that effective anti-corruption reform can be achieved in a highly corrupt environment if the third-party enforcement agencies maintain their political independence and integrity and in turn retain public support, so that the incentives that lead to corruption can be changed through consistent preventive measures and law enforcement. In Indonesia, the economic crisis, regime change and popular pressure led to a political consensus on the establishment of new formal anti-corruption institutions including new third-party agencies. The design of these anti-corruption institutions was influenced but not predetermined by international precedents and donor intervention. Precautions were put in place to maintain the integrity and political independence of the KPK, most notably the sequential selection recruitment of its leadership, thereby diluting loyalties of the nominees to particular groups. The KPK’s human resource management system has avoided the weaknesses of the Indonesian civil service system through higher, more transparent remuneration that aligns individual performance with organisational objectives. The KPK has increased the risks of engaging in corruption but, impeded by its organisational design, has as yet failed to reduce the opportunities and systemic weaknesses that lead to endemic corruption. The KPK’s law enforcement has generated public…

▼ Although police represent the law and justice system, police corruption cases still occur in many police organizations around the world. This cross national study examined and compared the perceptions of Turkish and American police officers regarding police corruption. The data that was collected by the researcher from TNP was used as a primary data; on the other hand, the dataset of Klockars et al’s study was used as a secondary data. This research examined the police corruption problem on the basis of organizational level explanations considering individual and societal approaches rather than the traditional limited view. In this study, a cross-sectional survey research design including a survey questionnaire, along with hypothetical scenarios based primarily on temptations faced by officers in their daily work was applied. The findings of this study demonstrated significant agreements between the Turkish and American police officers’ perceptions especially on the most serious cases. This agreement showed a consensus between the American and Turkish police officers perception about what they considered as being serious. While the Turkish and American police officers come from different economic, social, political, cultural environments, they share a common understanding of corruption seriousness. According to the findings, both the Turkish and American respondents are not willing to report all the misbehaviors of their colleagues even they perceive those behaviors as being unethical. The results showed that ‘the code of silence’ and ‘loyalty’ to colleagues exist in the TNP and American police agencies. This research also investigated factors contributing to officers’ perception of seriousness. “Income satisfaction level” and “supervisory position” have significant effects on Turkish police officers’ attitude toward corruption. “Supervisory position”, “length of service” and “current assignment unit” have significant effects on American police officers. This study did not aim to measure the extent of police corruption in any police agency of Turkey or the US, but tried to shed light on some scientifically unexplored aspects of the police corruption phenomena in the US and Turkey.

▼ The objective of this study was to assess the anti-corruption communications to the University of Zambia (UNZA) main campus full-time undergraduate students. The specific objectives included: To assess the nature of collaboration between the University of Zambia and the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on programs aimed at sensitizing students on corruption issues, to establish what type of communications on corruption are disseminated to the students, to establish what channels of communications are used to inform students on corruption on campus, to establish the sources of information on corruption to the students and to determine the students’ perceptions towards communications on corruption on campus.
The study was of descriptive design and used both qualitative and quantitative methods in gathering the data. 100 self-administered questionnaires were distributed using convenience sampling method to full time under graduate students at the University of Zambia for quantitative data. The researcher further conducted 3 in-depth Interviews with a Community Education Senior Officer from the Anti-Corruption Commission, a Lecturer of Philosophy and applied Ethics from the University of Zambia and the Dean of Students from the University of Zambia Main Campus. The researcher used the thematic analysis on qualitative data, and used SPSS and excel software for descriptive statistics and generation of frequencies and distribution.
The study established that there was uncertainty as to how much information students at UNZA had with regards to corruption. It was also discovered that communication on corruption at the University of Zambia was not adequate. This was due to the fact that students received information mostly through the media, friends and relatives more than they received from the University of Zambia (UNZA) and Anti-corruption Commission (ACC). There was also no visible collaboration between the University of Zambia and Anti –Corruption Commission. It was further discovered that the channels of communications that were used to inform students on corruption on campus included; television programs, radio programs, newspaper articles, posters, internet, and social media. Based on the findings, the study recommends among other that, the student union/ association should also highlight issues of corruption in their activities in campus and sensitize their fellow students through activities such as drama performances, sensitization talks and posters among others.

▼ Corruption in organisations is an on-going phenomenon. Previous academic research has examined corruption at structural and corporate levels. This research focused on small groups within organisations and the relationship between their corrupt behaviour and stress. Corruption, group behaviour and stress have all been studied in their own right, but this research brings these concepts together. The Social Identity Theory (SIT) with its focus on both inter-group and intra-group behaviour provided a framework for the work. Previous research suggests that corruption in the workplace can occur when employees are put under pressure to meet difficult targets. SIT suggests that to support their group at such times, individuals who identify strongly with it may be prepared to modify their behaviour. Although, people may find behaving in ways contrary to their normal inclinations stressful, SIT also suggests that high identification with a group can lower stress levels. What was not known was whether these previous findings would apply in the case of corruption. The aim of this research is to investigate whether corruption is influenced by group behaviour, and whether stress is a factor in these acts. A series of experimental studies was conducted in which the participants had the opportunity to behave corruptly. The results demonstrate that in all cases, this opportunity was taken, whether the participants were students or senior business executives. High identifiers behaved more corruptly than low identifiers and they experienced less stress. Women were found to be less corrupt than men. Leaders play a definite role in corrupt behaviour. Qualitative analysis showed that corruption in groups is highly contextual and is accompanied by rationalisation. When group identification is strong in a team, and conditions present the opportunity, corrupt behaviour may occur even when threat to the identity is not high. This has led to a new model of corrupt behaviour in which opportunity and social identification definitely play their parts, while threat and/or stress may or may not. The implication is that strong identification between members within sub-units may result in employees behaving in corrupt ways that may run counter to the norms of the wider organisation. However, the increased understanding of corrupt group behaviour that this research has provided will help to prevent such behaviour from occurring.

▼ The objective of this thesis is to identify and determine the way in which academic
business research has evaluated or determined
corruption, bribery and fraud in
financial and accounting reporting in China and Indonesia. A subsidiary purpose was to
identify how academic accounting researchers have accommodated particular ethnic
and cultural aspects in their research. Very few accounting related results were found,
especially those linking all variables in a conclusive and convincing manner. This
appears to be caused by a lack of agreed definitions of key terms, a confusion over
terminology, usage of discredited and myopic models, and an absence of any specific
reported financial impacts on both the accounting profession and society globally. As a
consequence, only parts of the “proverbial elephant as described by five blind men”
(Duen, 2008, Silverstein, 2012) were identified by various authors, and mostly
independently of each other. These thesis findings create an opportunity and a
challenge for future researchers in this field to take a much more comprehensive
approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methods, with the aim of
addressing the connection between ethnicity, accounting and
corruption in much
clearer perspective. In marrying the normally standalone quantitative with qualitative
methods it is expected that researchers will be able to achieve a hitherto elusively
holistic understanding of the complex layers that propel and impel cultural norms and
ethnicity. In order to do this, it is suggested that future researchers consider the
application of an embedded research methodology, supported by much broader and
deeper analysis and understanding of the various layered ecological influences, as
advocated by academics and thought leaders of society alike.

▼ This dissertation sheds light on why
accountability for
corruption fails and corrupt politicians survive
democratic elections. This study relies on a multi-method approach
that brings together quantitative and qualitative data from Brazil
as well as a broader set of countries. Challenging prior works on
this topic, which focus on the low salience of
corruption in
voters’ minds, this dissertation shows that even when
corruption is
a salient issue to voters, responses to
corruption are not more
clearly observed. Rather than working just like accountability for
other components of government performance, accountability for
corruption follows a particular dynamic, one that is distinct from
accountability for other electoral issues. Accountability for
corruption fails because the issue of
corruption itself tends to be
perceived with cynicism, an attitude characterized by the belief
that all politicians and political parties are equally incompetent
in dealing with
corruption. When voters perceive
corruption to be a
constant among candidate options, they are likely to overlook this
aspect of government performance and base their vote on different
issues. This perceived lack of differentiation among available
alternatives is a function of actual levels of
corruption. When
corruption is widespread, more politicians are likely to be
implicated in it, which in turn fosters the perception that
politicians are indistinguishable when it comes to either fighting
corruption or refraining from it. This explanation predicts that
electoral accountability for
corruption will, ironically, be
weakest where it is needed most. Political
corruption perpetuates
through a self-fulfilling prophecy. While democratic elections and
voters may not represent an effective solution to the problem,
independent and credible institutions with the legitimate power to
enforce efficient punishment for corrupt behavior may change
voters’ poor expectations regarding the prospects of
corruption in
politics and break the vicious cycle of
corruption.

▼ The essays in my dissertation investigate how political corruption affects business decisions made by firms.
In the first essay (co-authored with Jacqueline Garner and Adam Yore), we study how do firms respond when operating within a corrupt environment. To answer this question, we analyzes the interaction between the degree of local political corruption, lobbying expenditures, corporate investment, the cost of capital, and firm value. Using a sample of almost 11,000 firm year observations over a 12 year time period, we provide evidence that firms operating in corrupt political environments spend greater dollars on lobbying which helps secure safer cash flows. Consistent with a securing safer returns argument, these lobbying-intensive firms have less volatile cash flows and stock returns. They also exhibit lower costs of equity and an overall lower weighted average cost of capital. However, these benefits come at a cost: lobbying firms are associated with a reduction in spending on traditional investment such as research and development and capital expenditures. Overall, our evidence suggests that the misallocation of resources by firms operating in corrupt environments results in lower firm value, as measured by Tobin's q.
The second essay (co-authored with David Becher and Jacqueline Garner) examines the relationship between U.S. firms' local area corruption and their acquisition decisions during the period of 1997-2009. While previous studies have shown that the corruption in the target's local area affects the completion and premiums paid, we find that these results are significantly dependent on the corruption of the acquirer's local area as well. When targets and acquirers are both from a corrupt area, completion rates are higher, while premiums and target returns are lower. These findings are consistent with our familiarity and bargaining hypothesis. Yet, acquirer shareholders benefit overall. We also find that firms will employ lobbying activities to influence merger outcomes in their favor. Lobbying activities by targets result in fewer completed deals, while lobbying activities by acquirers increase the probability of completion. We also observe that lobbying activities by both parties are related to longer completion times, and acquirer lobbying results in higher premiums, suggesting that lobbying is used with hard to complete deals. These results are not explained by location or industry. The evidence suggests that acquirers which have dealt with corrupt environments previously are able to overcome the costs related to the target's corrupt environment.

Abstract
One great enemy of development is
corruption.
Corruption is widely understood as “misuse of
public power for private gain”. The costs of
corruption to the economy, legitimacy and social
development of a country are enormous. The effects of
corruption to the poor, the marginalized
and vulnerable groups in general are severe.
Corruption has become serious problem in
Ethiopia. This research has intended to explore the phenomenon of
corruption and anticorruption
in the country in general and the nature and forms of workplace
corruption in
particular with special emphasis to the Ethiopian Customs Authority.
Given the lack of previous research in this area, the study is exploratory; it also calls for
empirical studies for there is almost no research on the topic. The research is descriptive in
nature and hence qualitative approach was employed. The source of information was both
primary and secondary data. Primary data was gathered and analyzed from 21 knowledgeable
government officials, civil society leaders, private sector representatives and civil servants
working in relevant positions while secondary data from the Federal Ethics and Anti-
Corruption
Commission was used.
The findings of the research revealed that
corruption has become a serious problem of the
country. Both petty and grand
corruption and all major forms of
corruption have been prevalent
in workplaces. Favoritism and bribery were reported as most common. In customs, valuation,
classification, examination, services associated with delay, duty free service, outright smuggling,
and embezzlement were reported as the most widespread areas and forms of
corruption while
need and poor working conditions, greed and rent seeking behaviors, attitudinal problem,
existence of backward working system, and resource constraints and administrative discretion
are reported as major causes. According, to the perception of both the employees and officials of
the Authority, the nature of the work performed, working condition, and organizational culture
have been identified in order of importance as major
corruption optimizing risk factors in
Custom Authority.
The research has revealed three scenarios regarding reporting cases of
corruption in the
country: first, the society reports but the reports mostly fail to take effect because of lack of
supporting evidences; second, some consider
corruption a “necessary evil” and hence do not
report; and third, the society does not report because of lack of confidence about effectiveness of
the process in general. In workplaces as well, employees who exactly know about the occurrence
of corrupt practices usually do not report because they are either accomplices or are indifferent.
Moreover, the study has revealed that the weak national integrity system of the country and
absence of effective institutional anti-
corruption strategies are responsible for undermining the
anti-
corruption efforts that are underway.

▼ The study problem was that there was a recurrent problem of officers in the Department of Immigration being suspended from work, dismissed, and sometimes facing other disciplinary actions for reasons which are mainly corruption-related, particularly bribery. This phenomenon persists despite the fact that many remedial efforts have been implemented to mitigate the incidence of corruption in the institution. The current (Mwanawasa) government has particularly adopted a tough stance towards issues of corruption, although mostly through mere public pronouncements not cemented by actions. Equally, many civil society organisations have used various platforms and approaches to advocate against corruption but the problem has remained resilient and persistent in public institutions, particularly the Immigration Department.The general objective of this study was to establish the main factors that contribute to corruption in the bureaucracy in general and in particular, among immigration officers in Zambia. To achieve that objective, the methodology involved a case study design, focusing on the Immigration Department (ID). Four immigration stations were selected for investigation; Immigration Headquarters, Lusaka International Airport (LIA), Chirundu and Kasumbalesa boarder controls. The sample size was 167 respondents consisting of 67 immigration officials selected using stratified random sampling, and 100 members of the public (both Zambians and foreigners) selected using the simple random sampling method. Key informants were drawn from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), Transparency International Zambia (TIZ), Immigration Headquarters, Lusaka Regional Immigration Office and some selected immigrants in Zambia. Both primary and secondary sources of data were employed. Data was analysed manually and using the Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences (SPSS) techniques.The study established that the principal cause of corruption in the ID is poor salaries and conditions of service for immigration staff From the 167 respondents interviewed, 120 attributed corruption in the institution to poor remuneration. In this regard, the investigation also revealed that 82% of the 67 immigration officials interviewed received monthly take-home salaries of less than K 1 million each. Other findings were that corruption in the ID was also due to the bureaucratic system of
operation which makes cHents desperate for services in the long-run. It was also established that the operation of immigration consultants/agents breeds corruption in the organisation. These agents operate as middle-men between immigration staff and their clientele. Another source of corruption discovered, especially at the boarders, is that immigration officers are understaffed leading to overwhelming workloads. This creates unnecessary congestions which subsequently lead to corruption. The centralization of the permit-issuance exercise at immigration headquarters was also found to be a contributor to corruption in the Immigration Department (ID). Other causes…
