    Chapter 2 Corruption in Australia 2.1 Corruption appears to exist at all levels of society. A commonly agreed definition of corruption—albeit a narrow one—is 'the misuse of entrusted power for private gain'.1 It can take many forms depending on local culture and context.2 Corruption can distort the making of public policy or the implementation of public policy. 3 2.2 The Attorney-General's Department provides an explanation of the place corruption occupies on the continuum of human behaviour: Corruption could be viewed as one end of a continuum of other undesirable behaviours, including maladministration and improper conduct. … Corruption can occur on many levels, from small illicit payments as part of routine bureaucratic processes, to the large scale diversions of public resources to corrupt individuals. Corruption affects both the public and private sectors and can be facilitated by bribery, embezzlement, money- laundering, nepotism and cronyism.4 2.3 Corruption has a negative effect on the countries, communities and institutions in which it is able to thrive. The Attorney-General's Department's 2011 National Anti-Corruption Plan discussion paper expanded on this point: Corruption is a corrosive global phenomenon that has a wide range of devastating impacts. It undermines democracy and the rule of law; discourages investment and distorts markets; diverts resources from important services like schools, hospitals and roads; and provides a breeding ground for organised crime and terrorism.5 2.4 Corruption in Australia – a very wealthy country by global standards – is not the same as corruption in a poorer country. Professor Graycar informed the committee that the kinds of corruption risk in a rich country are not typically small scale bribes to 1 Attorney-General's Department, The Commonwealth's approach to Anti-Corruption– Discussion Paper, 2011, p.

  • Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin's United Russia
    VLADIMIR VLADIMIROVICH PUTIN’S UNITED RUSSIA: THE HOW AND WHY OF RUSSIA’S NEW PARTY OF POWER THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Daniel James Sell, B.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Thesis Committee: Approved By Professor Trevor Brown, Adviser _____________________________ Adviser Professor David Hoffmann Slavic and East European Studies Graduate Program Copyright by Daniel James Sell 2008 ABSTRACT This paper serves to study the new ‘party of power,’ United Russia, that has emerged in the Russian Federation with Vladimir Vladimorovich Putin as the head of this party. It will look at what exactly a party of power is, and how Putin was able to solidify power in the country in the office of the president and transfer this power to United Russia. This paper looks at factors, such as the fact that Russia has a hybrid regime in place, which made it possible for the party of power to emerge, thus providing a small roadmap on how to create a party of power. Finally, this paper shows areas where Putin and his party of power could lose strength and what might possibly happen in regards to the political situation in the country if this were to happen. ii Dedicated to my father iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to thank my advisor, Trevor Brown, for support, encouragement, enthusiasm, flexibility in working long-distance on this project, and patience. Without his help, this thesis would not have been possible. I would also like to thank David Hoffmann, who so graciously agreed to serve on my thesis defense committee.

PICCONE: Good morning and thanks for your patience. I'm Ted Piccone. I'm a Senior Fellow and Deputy Director of the Foreign Policy Program here at Brookings. It is a real honor for us to be able to welcome Antonio Guterres, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, here to the Brookings Institution. I don't think he needs much of an introduction, but let me just say a couple of brief words. I first had the opportunity to meet him in the context of another activity that he's been involved in particularly before he took on this job which was the Club of Madrid, which is a group of former presidents and prime ministers and Antonio is one of the leading voices in that esteemed group who had a vision and a mission and a mandate and I think he's brought to everything he's done in politics and now at the U.N. in one of the most important jobs on the frontlines of helping people who are in really the most dire circumstances cope and resettle their lives.

  • The Cost of Corruption the Growing Perception of Corruption and Its Cost to GDP
    The cost of corruption The growing perception of corruption and its cost to GDP Corruption increases costs and reduces economic growth. Worsening perceptions of corruption in Australia since 2012 have potentially reduced GDP by $72.3 billion, or 4% of our latest GDP figures. Discussion paper Hannah Aulby Rod Campbell January 2018 ABOUT THE AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE The Australia Institute is an independent public policy think tank based in Canberra. It is funded by donations from philanthropic trusts and individuals and commissioned research. Since its launch in 1994, the Institute has carried out highly influential research on a broad range of economic, social and environmental issues. OUR PHILOSOPHY As we begin the 21st century, new dilemmas confront our society and our planet. Unprecedented levels of consumption co-exist with extreme poverty. Through new technology we are more connected than we have ever been, yet civic engagement is declining. Environmental neglect continues despite heightened ecological awareness. A better balance is urgently needed. The Australia Institute’s directors, staff and supporters represent a broad range of views and priorities. What unites us is a belief that through a combination of research and creativity we can promote new solutions and ways of thinking. OUR PURPOSE – ‘RESEARCH THAT MATTERS’ The Institute aims to foster informed debate about our culture, our economy and our environment and bring greater accountability to the democratic process. Our goal is to gather, interpret and communicate evidence in order to both diagnose the problems we face and propose new solutions to tackle them. The Institute is wholly independent and not affiliated with any other organisation.

  • Chapter 33 District 29 – Europe (1994–2019)1
    Chapter 33 1 District 29 – Europe (1994–2019) Since 1920, Zonta International has grouped clubs by district. The following is information on the formation of District 29. The district was established in 1994 by the division of the large District XIV into five new districts2, and as of 2019 had 73 clubs encompassing eight countries or parts of countries: England, northern France, Guadeloupe (a French Department in the Caribbean), the Netherlands, North Rhine-Westphalia /Germany, Russia and Spain. Six languages are spoken in District 29 and only one country has Zonta’s language (English) as its official language. When District 29 was established, intense relationships and friendships developed between the 240 clubs of the former District XIV. There was an especially strong feeling of solidarity with the newly founded clubs and clubs-in-organization in former Eastern countries such as Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Croatia. The relationships continued through personal contacts as well as support through the district’s Solidarity Fund for all official Zonta meetings such as district and Area meetings or Conventions. Each of the newly organized districts incorporated at least one club in an Eastern country. This increased the district’s commitment to integrating the Zontians from the Middle East (Turkey, Israel, Egypt and Iran) into the Zonta life of Western Europe. Personal friendships survived the division and enriched not only the European Zonta family, but worldwide face-to-face encounters, although language and distance barriers needed dedication and respect on both sides. One result of the division into five new districts was that contacts between clubs and the different organizational levels were easier to establish and continue.

Around the world we are witnessing increased social tensions related to a dearth of jobs in the midst of a systemic economic crisis and frustrated socio-economic expectations. In some regions, lack of growth has led to mindboggling unemployment levels, whilst in others, the distribution of income, the quality of available jobs or the prevalence of informality in the labor market has become a very heavy shackle for the attainment of healthy, functional, cohesive societies. Given the critical importance of a well-functioning labor market for sustained growth and the stability of democracy, Members have agreed to centre this year´s Club de Madrid Annual Conference on this topic – ‘Societies that Work: Jobs for Inclusive Growth. A Call to the G20’. Club de Madrid believes this is an ideal moment to act on the future of jobs and society and what this entails for democracy. Governments, multilateral organizations and civil society are all struggling to address this major challenge of unemployment and social unrest and it is no news that policy makers must find coordinated answers.
