ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book aims to gain an understanding of the operating concepts of anti-corruption efforts in several countries, following the UNCAC. It discusses socio-economic factors, and deals with the socio-economic context, measures of corruption, stakeholders and specific instances of corruption. The book brings forth a proposal for integrating public and private efforts via the public–private joint reporting platform of the Global Reporting Initiative. It analyses one specific anti-corruption organization in detail. The book bridges anti-corruption efforts between the public and the private sectors, and offers an administrative law perspective as well as a management one. It follows an implementation approach, looking both at the normative reality of anti-corruption organizations and at the actual output and outcome of such organizations. The idea was to trace the impact that anti-corruption organizations have on the economies and societies they are trying to affect.
