  • Democracy, Media and Political Corruption
    Da ‘desdemocratização’ da Europa: democracia, media e corrupção política* About the ‘de-democratization’ of Europe: democracy, media and political corruption Acerca de la ‘des-democratización’ de Europa: la democracia, los medios de Comunicación y la corrupción política DOI: 10.1590/1809-5844201512 Isabel Ferin Cunha (Universidade de Coimbra, Faculdade de Letras, Centro de Investigação. Coimbra – Portugal) Resumo Nesta comunicação, pretendemos traçar um quadro das mudanças operadas nas sociedades europeias e do papel desempenhado pelos media na chamada desdemocratização, onde a questão da corrupção política tem ganho grande visibilidade sobretudo nos países do Sul da Europa. Os media mainstream têm desempenhado um papel crucial, principalmente nos países do Sul, repetindo à exaustão o discurso dominante da inevitabilidade das “medidas” e da responsabilidade individual no colapso dos países. Neste processo, a corrupção política emerge como fenômeno nacional dentro de padrões globalizados (JOHNSTON, 2005), monitorizada por órgãos internacionais de prevenção, bem como por instituições nacionais. A metodologia utilizada centra-se na revisão documental e bibliográfica, bem como na análise de discurso (VAN DIJK, 2008; 2012) e de conteúdo (CUNHA, 2012). A conclusão aponta para o papel dos media mainstream na construção da imagem de “falência” das democracias nacionais, a partir da visibilidade e tratamento conferido ao issue corrupção, assim como na “conformação” dos cidadãos europeus à inevitabilidade das políticas de “austeridade” seguidas.

  • Portugal 2012
    UN CONVENTION AGAINST CORRUPTION CIVIL SOCIETY REVIEW: PORTUGAL 2012 Context and purpose The UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) was adopted in 2003 and entered into force in December 2005. It is the first legally-binding anti-corruption agreement applicable on a global basis. To date, 160 states have become parties to the convention. States have committed to implement a wide and detailed range of anti-corruption measures that affect their laws, institutions and practices. These measures promote prevention, criminalisation and law enforcement, international cooperation, asset recovery, technical assistance and information exchange. Concurrent with UNCAC’s entry into force in 2005, a Conference of the States Parties to the Convention (CoSP) was established to review and facilitate required activities. In November 2009 the CoSP agreed on a review mechanism that was to be “transparent, efficient, non-intrusive, inclusive and impartial”. It also agreed to two five-year review cycles, with the first on chapters III (Criminalisation and Law Enforcement) and IV (International Cooperation), and the second cycle on chapters II (Preventive Measures) and V (Asset Recovery). The mechanism included an Implementation Review Group, which met for the first time in June-July 2010 in Vienna and selected the order of countries to be reviewed in the first five-year cycle, including the 26 countries (originally 30) in the first year of review. UNCAC Article 13 requires States Parties to take appropriate measures including “to promote the active participation of individuals and groups outside the public sector in the prevention of and the fight against corruption” and to strengthen that participation by measures such as “enhancing the transparency of and promoting the contribution of the public in decision-making processes and ensuring that the public has effective access to information; [and] respecting, promoting and protecting the freedom to seek, receive, publish and disseminate information concerning corruption”.

  • The Genesis and Impact of Anti-Corruption Policies in Portugal
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Digital library of University of Maribor VARSTVOSLOVJE, Journal of Criminal The Genesis and Impact Justice and Security, year 18 no. 2 of Anti-corruption Policies pp. 160‒174 in Portugal: A Preliminary Assessment of Corruption Risk Management Plans Eduardo Viegas Ferreira Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of public services and corporations’ corruption risk management plans on international perceptions of corruption in Portugal and on the detection and court conviction of corruption behaviours. Design/Methods/Approach: This research assumed that political systems, institutions and social groups, and the variety of forms in which individuals interact with them play a major role in corruption behaviours. Corruption risk management plans have formed part of the Portuguese anti-corruption strategy since 2009 and their design and implementation has been politically and socially contextualised. Official data on corruption provided by governmental and non-governmental agencies and covering the period between 2001 and 2014 were used to identify corruption trends before and after implementation of the plans. Findings: Existing data suggest that, at least until 2014, the corruption risk management plans had no impact on international perceptions of corruption in Portugal, or on the detection and court conviction of corruption cases. Research Limitations/Implications: The outcome of a single anti-corruption measure, such as the plans, is difficult to identify and isolate since several other measures are activated or remain active during the same time period, as do several social, political, economic or cultural factors.

    EXPLORING SHADES OF CORRUP- TION TOLERANCE Three Lessons from Iceland and Sweden GISSUR ÓLAFUR ERLINGSSON GUNNAR HELGI KRISTINSSON WORKING PAPER SERIES 2018:5 QOG THE QUALITY OF GOVERNMENT INSTITUTE Department of Political Science University of Gothenburg Box 711, SE 405 30 GÖTEBORG October 2018 ISSN 1653-8919 © 2018 by Gissur Ólafur Erlingsson & Gunnar Helgi Kristinsson. All rights reserved. Exploring Shades of Corruption Tolerance: Three Lessons from Iceland and Sweden Gissur Ólafur Erlingsson Gunnar Helgi Kristinsson QoG Working Paper Series 2018:5 October 2018 ISSN 1653-8919 ABSTRACT It is sometimes argued that tolerance for corruption is universally low, i.e. that corruption is shunned among all individuals, in all societies and cultures. Against this backdrop, this paper engages in two interrelated tasks: to descriptively map variations in corruption tolerance in two low-corrupt countries, and exploratively identify factors that influence tolerance of cor- ruption at the individual level. We note that although corruption tends to be widely disliked, there are shades to this dislike. In particular, three results stand out from our analyses. First, we reject the ‘pureness of the people’ versus ‘the corrupt elite’-hypothesis, observing that if anything, politicians are less tolerant of corruption than the general public. Second, we find striking differences in corruption tolerance between such homogenous, low-corrupt and in other respects such similar nations as Iceland and Sweden; differences we argue could be traced back to their different paths to representative democracy and strong state-capacity respectively. Third, analysing within-country variations in these countries, we observe that civil-servants generally tend to have a lower tolerance for corruption than do e.g.

  • Political Parties Are Most Corrupt Institution Worldwide According to TI Global Corruption Barometer 2004
    Political parties are most corrupt institution worldwide according to TI Global Corruption Barometer 2004 In 6 out of 10 countries, political parties are given the worst assessment. Governments must enhance efforts to fight graft, starting with ratification of UN Convention against Corruption. Paris/Berlin, 9 December 2004 --- The public around the world perceive political parties as the institution most affected by corruption, according to a new public opinion survey published today by Transparency International (TI), to mark UN International Anti-Corruption Day. TI is the leading global non-governmental organisation devoted to combating corruption worldwide. In 36 out of 62 countries surveyed, political parties were rated by the general public as the institution most affected by corruption. On a scale from a corrupt-free 1 to an extremely corrupt score of 5, parties ranked worst worldwide, with a score of 4.0, faring most poorly in Ecuador, followed by Argentina, India and Peru. At the same time, the public rated political or grand corruption as a very grave problem, and reported that corruption affected political life in their country more than business and private life. After political parties, the next most corrupt institutions worldwide were perceived to be parliaments, the police and the judiciary, according to the TI Global Corruption Barometer 2004. The survey included more than 50,000 respondents from the general public in a total of 64 countries and was conducted for TI by Gallup International as part of its Voice of the People Survey between June and September 2004*. “It is time to use international co-operation to enforce a policy of zero tolerance of political corruption and to put an end to practices whereby politicians put themselves above the law - stealing from ordinary citizens and hiding behind parliamentary immunity,” said TI Board member and President of TI Cameroon, Akere Muna, speaking in Paris today.

  • HOW CORRUPT IS EUROPE? Transparency International Report on Corruption in 25 European Countries
    HOW CORRUPT IS EUROPE? Transparency International report on corruption in 25 European countries PRESS CONFERENCE & ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION Wed., 6 June 2012, 9:00 - 13:00 European Parliament, PHS building, room: P1CO51 Why do three-quarters of Europeans think corruption is a major problem? The European Commission launched its anti-corruption policy one year ago (6 June 2011). Since then, corruption scandals have erupted across Europe, with leaders on trials in France and Italy, resigning in Germany and governments falling in Latvia, Slovakia, Romania, with protests in many more. On 6 June 2012, Transparency International will issue a ground breaking report on the causes of corruption in Europe, containing a wealth of new information and data including: • The countries most vulnerable to corruption. • The institutions most and least effective in preventing corruption. • Key areas of corruption risk and what needs to be done about them. The first study to offer such a comprehensive assessment of corruption in Europe, it builds on national research from 25 European countries, covering more than 300 national institutions, including political parties, parliaments, judiciaries and private sectors. The research in countries such as Greece, Portugal and Italy has already identified links between corruption and Europe’s economic crisis. We would like to invite you to join journalists, high-level EU officials and civil society for the report launch, followed by a roundtable discussion in Brussels on the morning of 6 June 2012. > Please RSVP by 1 June to Lucy Strang, [email protected]. Participants in need of an access badge to the European Parliament are kindly asked to include their date of birth and citizenship.
