Anti-corruption programmes, projects and campaigns have come to
constitute an essential aspect of good governance promotion over
the last two decades. The post-communist countries in Eastern
Europe have presented one of the first key targets of transnational
anti-corruption efforts, and indeed most of these countries have
shown an impressive record of respective measures. Yet
path-breaking institutional and policy developments have not set in
before the mid-2000s both at the international level and in most
Eastern European countries. Are these the beginnings of a mutually
synergetic success story? In order to answer this question, we need
to better understand the complex interplay between the
international and domestic domains in this policy field and
geographic region. This book provides in-depth and comparative
insights about this interplay, with a particular focus on the
involvement of domestic social movements, governmental political
machines and international legal mechanisms. We find that, on all
three levels of analysis, political and material interests of
relevant actors are complemented and at times contradicted by
normative claims. Moreover, at the interfaces of the three levels,
coincidental and spontaneous developments have largely outweighed
systematic implementation and coordination of appropriate
anti-corruption strategies. This book is based on a special issue
of Global Crime.

This collection provides up-to-date studies on international
anti-corruption regimes from an interdisciplinary point of view.
Focusing on Europe, selected cross-border initiatives meant to
combat corruption are analyzed. The book contains both qualitative
and quantitative studies. Moreover, it often takes cultural aspects
into account within its four parts: a) the European dimension; b)
political and legal instruments; c) culture, perceptions, and
experiences; and ~d) practitioners' perspectives. The contributions
are written by political scientists, lawyers, sociologists,
economists, and practitioners.
