ABSTRACT
Action against corruption is now often required of governments seeking loans from development banks, or applying to join international organizations like the European Union. The chapter compares and evaluates several attempts to induce governments to act against corruption in the Pacic Islands where small states are particularly dependent on the international community. It considers the coerciveness and effectiveness of the use of loan conditions by development banks; peer review by a regional organization; franchising NGOs; blacklisting of banks; and the more recent ‘cooperative intervention’ in Solomon Islands, where Australian ofcials enforce local laws against corrupt police and politicians.
