ABSTRACT

Chapter 2, “The mission and operations of the Italian experiment”, includes an in-depth description of the anti-corruption effort in Italy. It describes the Italian Anti-Corruption Authority’s main flow of action, which actively involves the country’s entire public sector, including public administration and SOEs. It arrives at a description of the basic mechanism—and the theory of change thereby implied—via an excursus on the Authority’s statutory and organizational history since 2009.
