ABSTRACT

Considering that even sectorial reform exhibits political economy hindrances, in Chapter 8 (“A Human Rights Strategy”) I suggest a human rights answer, which countries with similar contexts – where systemic corruption undermines the necessary political backbone to produce structural reform – could easily replicate. I assess the innovative theoretical frameworks that make the connection between corruption and human rights from a preventive-institutional perspective. With a special focus on procurement corruption, I then address impact, awareness, vulnerability criteria, and litigation within Argentina’s long-standing human rights tradition and public interest law experiences.
