Corruption and the Lava Jato Scandal in Latin America brings
together key international and interdisciplinary perspectives to
shine new light on Lava Jato, or Operation Car Wash, Latin
America's largest corruption scandal to date. Since 2014, this
scandal has unfolded in surprising ways to expose collusion between
construction companies and state officials in Brazil and 11 other
countries. The corruption uncovered amounts in the order of
hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes and billions of dollars
in stolen state funds. The volume features evidence that the main
construction company at the center of the scandal
was-apparently-deliberate about seeking business in corrupt
markets. It also evaluates the ambiguous role played by the media,
whose members often relied uncritically on classified information
released by the authorities. The volume further contributes to our
understanding with studies on a number of other relevant topics,
including: the overlap between corruption and the planning of the
Rio Olympics; Mexico and Peru's contrasting responses to Lava Jato;
the policy reforms needed to avoid a similar scandal in the future;
and the roadmap for how Lava Jato should end. Across 15 chapters by
leading and emerging scholars and practitioners, this book engages
with these issues from a balanced and unbiased perspective,
including interviews with key stakeholders on both sides of the
case. As one of the first book-length studies to deal with Lava
Jato in the English language, this ground-breaking volume is a
compelling reading for advanced students and researchers in areas
including Corruption Studies, Public Ethics, Political Science, and
Latin American Studies, as well as for practitioners working to
make governments more accountable.
