This book discusses parliamentary oversight and its role in curbing
corruption in developing countries. Over the past decade, a growing
body of research at the global and regional levels has demonstrated
that parliamentary oversight is an important determinant of
corruption and that effective oversight of public expenditure is an
essential component of national anti-corruption strategies and
programs. However, little research has been undertaken at the
country level regarding how parliamentary oversight is undertaken,
which oversight mechanisms are effective or on how national
parliaments interact with other anti-corruption stakeholders. This
book presents the results of a new large-scale, quantitative
analysis which identifies the mechanisms through which
institutional arrangements impact corruption, specifically through
country case studies on the Caribbean region, Ghana, Myanmar,
Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda. Addressing a gap in scholarly
knowledge while presenting practical policy advice for parliaments
and for anti-corruption assistance agencies, this book will be of
use to scholars interested in development, anti-corruption, public
finance, as well as members of parliament, anti-corruption
practitioners, and organizations working in parliamentary
strengthening.
