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.

Corruption impacts on development outcomes. It undermines accountable and effective institutions, prevents access to basic public services and holds back economic growth. It is now widely recognised that international aspects of corruption can have a critical impact on domestic governance and development efforts.
