This book argues that it is time to step back and reassess the
anti-corruption movement, which despite its many opportunities and
great resources has ended up with a track record that is
indifferent at best. Drawing on many years of experience and
research, the authors critique many of the major strategies and
tactics employed by anti-corruption actors, arguing that they have
made the mistake of holding on to problematical assumptions, ideas,
and strategies, rather than addressing the power imbalances that
enable and sustain corruption. The book argues that progress
against corruption is still possible but requires a focus on
justice and fairness, considerable tolerance for political
contention, and a willingness to stick with the reform cause over a
very long process of thoroughgoing, sometimes discontinuous
political change. Ultimately, the purpose of the book is not to
tell people that they are doing things all wrong. Instead, the
authors present new ways of thinking about familiar dilemmas of
corruption, politics, contention, and reform. These valuable
insights from two of the top thinkers in the field will be useful
for policymakers, reform groups, grant-awarding bodies, academic
researchers, NGO officers, and students.
