International Drivers of Corruption
A Tool for Analysis
Corruption and other governance problems result primarily from processes generated within the domestic political economy. There are major international factors, however, that interact with domestic processes: international drivers of corruption. This report introduces an analytical tool to help readers understand how these international drivers of corruption affect governance and corruption at the country level. It provides a means for identifying those drivers that matter most for domestic governance, as well as opportunities for international actors to work more effectively to improve governance in specific country contexts.
Conclusion
International drivers have a significant impact on domestic governance and corruption. This report has provided a framework to systematically analyse how these processes operate in different country settings. Its ultimate purpose is to provide the basis for more focused and prioritised international action by helping to distil the often dauntingly complex interactions between global, regional and domestic political economies.
