Corruption scandals receive significant press coverage and scrutiny
from practitioners of global governance, and bilateral and
multilateral donors. Across the globe, the annual publication of
TI's CPI and World Bank's Worldwide Governance Indicators elicits
spirited denials and accusations of targeting, of neo-colonialism.
Poor measures on corruption indices and the ensuing negative
publicity can have serious consequences both externally, through a
freeze or retraction of donor funding, and internally, through
reducing the availability of public funds, and harming the
credibility of serving governments and institutions. Corruption
Scandals and their Global Impacts tracks several major corruption
scandals across the world in a comparative analysis to assess the
full impact of global corruption. Over the course of the book, the
contributors deliberate the exposure and reporting of corruption
scandals, demonstrate how corruption inhibits development on
different levels and across different countries, the impact it has
on the country in question, how citizens and authorities respond to
corruption, and some local, regional and global policy and
legislative measures to combat corruption. The chapters examine the
transnational manifestation of corruption scandals around the
world, from developed countries and regions such as the United
States and the European Union, to BRIC countries Brazil and Russia,
to developing countries such as Belarus, Jamaica, Kenya and
Nigeria. In each case, chapters highlight the scandal, its impact,
the local, regional and global responses, and the subsequent global
perceptions of the country. Concluding with a review of the global
impacts of corruption scandals, this book provides an important
comparative analysis which will be useful to students and scholars
of international development and politics, as well as to
development practitioners, donors, politicians and policy makers.
