  • How Does Corruption Affect the Adoption of Lobby Registers? a Comparative Analysis
    Politics and Governance (ISSN: 2183–2463) 2020, Volume 8, Issue 2, Pages 116–127 DOI: 10.17645/pag.v8i2.2708 Article How Does Corruption Affect the Adoption of Lobby Registers? A Comparative Analysis Fabrizio De Francesco 1 and Philipp Trein 2,3,* 1 School of Government and Public Policy, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, G42 9RJ, UK; E-Mail: [email protected] 2 Department for Actuarial Sciences, University of Lausanne, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland; E-Mail: [email protected] 3 Institute of Political Studies, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, University of Lausanne, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland * Corresponding author Submitted: 14 December 2019 | Accepted: 19 March 2020 | Published: 28 May 2020 Abstract Recent research has demonstrated that some governments in developed democracies followed the OECD and the EU rec- ommendations to enhance transparency by adopting lobby registers, whereas other countries refrained from such mea- sures. We contribute to the literature in demonstrating how corruption is linked to the adoption of lobbying regulations. Specifically, we argue that governments regulate lobbying when they face the combination of low to moderate levels of corruption and a relatively well-developed economy. To assess this argument empirically, we compare 42 developed countries between 2000 and 2015, using multivariate logistic regressions and two illustrative case studies. The statistical analysis supports our argument, even if we include a number of control variables, such as the presence of a second par- liamentary chamber, the age of democracy, and a spatial lag. The case studies illustrate the link between anti-corruption agenda and the adoption of lobby registers.

  • Populism and Corruption
    Transparency International Anti-Corruption Helpdesk Answer Populism and corruption Author(s): Niklas Kossow, [email protected] Reviewer(s): Roberto Martínez B. Kukutschka, [email protected] Date: 14 January 2019 This Helpdesk Answer looks at how corruption and populism interlink. First, it provides an overview of the different definitions of populism, all of which point to the fact that populism, as a political ideology and as a style of political communication, divides society into two groups: the people and the “elites”. Second, it explains how corruption becomes an inherent part of populist rhetoric and policies: populist leaders stress the message that the elites works against the interest of the people and denounce corruption in government in order to stylize themselves as outsiders and the only true representatives of the people’s interest. While the denunciations of corruption can often be considered valid, populist leaders rather than effectively fighting corruption use the populist rhetoric as a smoke screen to redistribute the spoils of corruption amongst their allies. In many cases populism even facilitate new forms of corruption. Finally, the answer uses examples from Hungary, the Philippines and the USA to show how corruption and populism relate to one another. © 2019 Transparency International. All rights reserved.

  • Corruption and the Global Economy
    10 Corruption as an International Policy Problem: Overview and Recommendations KIMBERLY ANN ELLIOTT In just a few months in early 1997, Mexico fired its top drug-enforcement official for accepting bribes and ultimately closed the agency because it was so ridden with corruption; Ukraines president once again declared war on corruption; Chinese Prime Minister Li Peng lamented that his country was losing ground in its war on corruption; President Kim Young Sam deplored endemic corruption in South Korea; Russian Interior Min- ister Anatoly Kulikov pledged to crack down on corruption and the gray economy; Pakistans voters, disillusioned by perceptions of widespread corruption, stayed away from the polls in droves; and public schools in Washington were alleged to be rife with cronyism and nepotism. Corruption scandals in recent years have also contributed to the downfall of governments in Ecuador, Brazil, Italy, and India. Long-entrenched ruling parties have been weakened, including Japans Liberal Democratic Party and Mexicos Institutional Revolutionary Party. In the United States, two decades after the Watergate scandals prompted new rules regard- ing political contributions and the passage of the Foreign Corrupt Prac- tices Act (FCPA), campaign finance reform has reemerged as a major political issue. The number, variety, and importance of countries experiencing corrup- tion scandals highlight both the complexity of this phenomenon and its prominence as a global issue. When it is pervasive and uncontrolled, corruption thwarts economic development and undermines political le- gitimacy. Less pervasive variants result in wasted resources, increased inequity in resource distribution, less political competition, and greater distrust of government.

  • Comparing Presidential Corruption Scandals in Guatemala and Brazil: Part 1
    Comparing Presidential Corruption Scandals in Guatemala and Brazil: Part 1 Comparing Presidential Corruption Scandals in Guatemala and Brazil: Part 1 Written by Mike LaSusa Thursday, 27 October 2016 Brazil Guatemala Elites and Organized Crime Over the past several years, both Brazil Twitter and Guatemala have been rocked by revelations of widespread corruption at the highest levels of government. Former presidents in both countries are now standing trial for their alleged roles in the respective scandals. InSight Crime Recent corruption scandals have reached the highest levels of government in Guatemala and explores some of the similarities and Brazil differences between these cases. In addition to reporting by InSight Crime and other outlets, this article also draws on a discussion InSight Crime moderated recently between Mike Allison, an expert on Central American politics who serves as an associate professor and chair of the political science department at the University of Scranton, and Matthew Taylor, an associate professor at American University's School of International Service who focuses on state capacity and corruption in Latin America and who has extensive experience in Brazil.

  • Petrobras Oil Scandal Leaves Brazilians Lamenting a Lost Dream
    https://nyti.ms/1SY8Z2P INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS Petrobras Oil Scandal Leaves Brazilians Lamenting a Lost Dream By DAVID SEGAL AUG. 7, 2015 Alberto Youssef, a convicted money launderer and former bon vivant, sat in a Brazilian jail cell in March of last year, getting ready to tell his lawyers a story. It was about an elaborate bribery scheme involving Petrobras, the government-controlled oil giant. He opened with a dire prediction. “Guys,” Mr. Youssef said, “if I speak, the republic is going to fall.” To those lawyers, Tracy Reinaldet and Adriano Bretas, who recently recounted the conversation, this sounded a tad melodramatic. But then Mr. Youssef took a piece of paper and started writing the names of participants in what would soon become known as the Petrobras scandal. Mr. Reinaldet looked at the names and asked, not for the last time that day, “Are you serious?” “We were shocked,” he recalled, sitting in a conference room in his law office in downtown Curitiba, the capital of the southern state of Paraná, one morning in June. “It was kind of like, in Brazil, we know that corruption is a monster. But we never really see the monster. This was like seeing the monster.” What Mr. Youssef described to his lawyers, and then to prosecutors after he signed a plea agreement last year, is a fraud that has destabilized the country’s political system, helped tilt the economy into recession and left thousands unemployed. It has all but devastated Brazil’s status as an up-and-comer on the world stage. The Petrobras scandal would read as pure tragedy were it not filled with a cast of Hollywood-ready characters and their lavish props.
