Corruption is linked to a wide range of developmental issues, including undermining democratic institutions, slowing economic development, contributing to government instability, poverty and inequality. It is estimated that corruption costs more than 5% of global GDP, and that more than one trillion US dollars are paid in bribes each year. This book unpacks the concept of corruption, its political and ethical influences, its measurement, commitments to combat corruption and ways that this is being attempted. Building on the research on the nature, causes and consequences of corruption, this book contributes to the much smaller body of literature on international anti-corruption interventions. The book analyses international development assistance in particular, and looks at how efforts to tackle corruption in developing countries could be focused on where they are most likely to be successful. The efforts of the UK are considered as a detailed case study, with comparisons brought in as necessary from other countries' and multilateral institutions' anti-corruption efforts, including the World Bank and China. Bridging a range of disciplines, Anti-Corruption in International Development will be of interest to students and scholars of international development, public administration, management, international relations, politics, and criminal justice.
