The fight against corruption is now a core part of development
policy and practice. Some call these efforts a 'war on corruption'.
What does this so-called 'war' mean for developing countries? And
how do international perspectives on corruption relate to local and
national concerns? This book examines the relevance of
anti-corruption discourse in Papua New Guinea (PNG), one of the
most culturally rich and 'corrupt' countries on earth. Despite
increased international, national and local efforts to address
corruption over the past two decades, many fear that levels of
corruption continue to rise largely unabated. Some believe that the
mismatch between international, national and local assumptions
regarding the nature of corruption and how it should be addressed
is at the heart of the issue. International anti-corruption
initiatives stress 'zero-tolerance' and try to strengthen formal
state-based institutions. However, many people in PNG are more
concerned about maintaining social relationships than following
state laws and rules. This book critically examines the
implications of the anti-corruption agenda and the collision of
international, national and local perspectives. In doing so it
provides a diagnostic on international assumptions about corruption
and how it should be fought in developing countries, offering
surprising and important lessons. This book is essential reading
for scholars and students of Development Studies, Geography,
Political Studies and Economics, as well as practitioners and
policy makers working in development.
