This scale is tied to four qualitative evaluation levels. 10-9 = Government and administration act predictably, on the basis of and in accordance with legal provisions. Legal regulations are consistent and transparent, ensuring legal certainty. 8-6 = Government and administration rarely make unpredictable decisions. Legal regulations are consistent, but leave a large scope of discretion to the government or administration. 5-3 = Government and administration sometimes make unpredictable decisions that go beyond given legal bases or do not conform to existing legal regulations. Some legal regulations are inconsistent and contradictory. 2-1 = Government and administration often make unpredictable decisions that lack a legal basis or ignore existing legal regulations. Legal regulations are inconsistent, full of loopholes and contradict each other. Estonia Score 10 The rule of law is fundamental to Estonian government and administration. In the period of transition from communism to liberal democracy, most of the legal acts and regulations had to be amended or introduced for the first time. Joining the European Union in 2004 caused another major wave of legal reforms. These fast and radical changes, which occurred in a short timespan, caused some inconsistencies and unexpected legal amendments (for example the increase of the VAT in 2009).

  • Business Corruption: Incidence, Mechanisms, and Consequences
    Business corruption: Incidence, mechanisms, and consequences Tina Søreide Chr. Michelsen Institute (CMI) Thesis submitted for the degree of dr. oecon at the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration (NHH) Bergen, Norway 9 February 2006 Acknowledgments A PhD study is an individual activity and responsibility. During this study, however, I have benefited from constructive feedback and support. I have met a large number of interesting people, and I have been working in a friendly and stimulating atmosphere at Chr. Michelsen Institute (CMI). Kjetil Bjorvatn has guided me through the process. Repeatedly I was impressed by his combination of critical comments and humor. I am very grateful for his understanding, as well as his comprehensive and rapid response. I also got the benefit of working with two excellent supervisors, Kalle Moene and Susan Rose-Ackerman. Their opinions and corrections have been important, and I have truly appreciated their friendly attitude. My stay as a visiting scholar at Yale University during the spring of 2003 was inspiring, and I wish to thank Susan for inviting me. The PhD study, the stay in New Haven included, has been financed by the Norwegian Research Council, and I am very grateful for their support. The Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise (NHO) gave me substantial backing and encouragement during my empirical studies. I wish to thank them a lot. I will also express gratitude to the survey interviewees and respondents who supported my project with their time and their confidence. The study would not have been started without encouragement from Odd-Helge Fjeldstad, Hildegunn Kyvik Nordås, Arve Ofstad, and support from the CMI administration.

Michelsen Institute (CMI), an independent research institute based in Norway. Claudio Weber Abramo is the executive director of Transparência Brasil, an NGO dedicated to combating corruption in Brazil. About this report Much has been said about anti-corruption initiatives, about the causes and consequences of corruption, and about what governments can do to combat this problem. Most discussions and policy recommendations focus on what governments can do within their jurisdictions. This report takes a different approach by exploring how countries and players can combat corruption through cross-border collaboration. Bilateral collaboration and Norwegian presence in Brazilian markets The report argues that the fight against corruption needs stronger transnational cooperation and attempts to map out issues that might be relevant for such collaboration.

  • Critiquing Corruption: a Turn to Theory
    the author(s) 2015 ISSN 1473-2866 (Online) ISSN 2052-1499 (Print) www.ephemerajournal.org volume 15(2): 319-336 Critiquing corruption: A turn to theory Eric Breit, Thomas Taro Lennerfors, Lena Olaison Introduction Over the past two decades, the will to fight corruption has increased in society at large. Consequently, the importance of effective anti-corruption measures has expanded into a global political agenda with the OECD, the World Bank and the UN in the forefront. Historically, corruption has been seen as an issue in the public sector, defined as the ‘the misuse of public office for private gain’ (The World Bank Group, 2012). The scope has since been broadened to include other sectors, as illustrated in the widely used, post-Enron definition by Transparency International: ‘the abuse of entrusted power for private gain’ (Transparency International, 2009, italics added). Since 2003, when the OECD promoted a stricter definition of corruption, bribes, kickbacks and embezzlement are supplemented by practices such as illicit gifts, favours, nepotism, and informal promises (OECD, 2003a; 2003b; Lennerfors, 2008; Brown and Cloke, 2011; Breit, 2011). As the OECD puts it: ‘although, at a conceptual level, corruption is easy to define […] corruption is a multi-layered phenomenon that may not always lend itself to neat definitions’ (2003a: 117). The increased attention to corruption and anti-corruption has also led to a ‘corruption boom’ (Torsello, 2013: 313) in which corruption has been approached and theorized in various ways. Corruption is discussed in fields as diverse as economics, political science, anthropology, sociology, history, organization studies, international business, business ethics, psychology, and philosophy.
