Worldwide, the construction sector is regularly rated as the most
corrupt industry. Even so, the scale and effects of this corruption
are frequently underestimated. The 2005 edition of Transparency
International's Global Corruption Report shows that corruption in
the construction industry has the power to shape and devastate
economies. It has the power to ruin livelihoods and, under certain
circumstances, to take lives. This book outlines the particular
characteristics of the construction industry that enable the
corrupt to plunder the vast amounts of international funds that
pour into large-scale infrastructure projects. Whether through
international bribes paid to secure contracts for the Lesotho Dam,
or the politicians implicated in the purchase of a waste
incinerator in Cologne, the report reveals how corruption steers
money away from essential services and development projects. In a
special section dedicated to post-conflict reconstruction, the
report shows how, from Angola to Iraq, the corrupt prey on the most
vulnerable. The Global Corruption Report 2005 also shows that no
matter how entrenched corruption seems, it can be beaten. Along
with presenting measures specifically tailored to curbing bribery
in construction, the report uncovers major trends in
anti-corruption legislation and reforms in more than 40 countries.
The book also offers the latest corruption research, including
studies on the links between corruption and, in turn, issues such
as pollution, gender and foreign investment.
