The term political
economy of corruption refers to the interactions
between political processes and economic and other
policies and their impact on the production and
distribution of corruption. Globalization combined
with a common pursuit of market liberalization
economic policies and increased democratization
has significantly changed these interactions with
resulting impacts on the production and distribution
of corruption. This new political economy is characterized
by significantly changed roles for national and
international actors: donors, national governments,
the private sector and civil society. There is
a sufficient body of empirical evidence by which
to review the corruption impacts of the new political
economy with a view to drawing out lessons for
policy-making. Understanding these new interactions
of political process and economic policies is
vital for 1) those engaged in designing anti-corruption
policies to counter corruption; 2) those responsible
for designing economic and political reforms;
3) those involved in mobilizing constituencies
in combating corruption.
To contribute to a better understanding of how
today’s new political economy impacts on corruption
with a view to identifying:
 |
Key
processes and policies that provide vehicles/arenas
for corruption |
|
Identify
priority actions for national and international
policy-makers |
|
Strategies for mobilizing civil society
to combat corruption |

nature and impact of corruption in post-war
reconstruction, and effective post-war counter-corruption
policies, mechanisms and means by which
countries can escape endemic corruption.
Goals: 1) analyse the nature, role and consequences
of corruption in post-war reconstruction
and development using case-studies; 2) examine
anti-corruption policy in post-war reconstruction

governments, donors, and aid agencies; 3)
provide recommendations for policy interventions;
4) identify areas worthy of further research
and analysis, with a view to use the workshop
as a foundation for further engagement of
TI and other partners.

The overall aim of the workshop is to examine
the manner in which formal and informal
networks become embedded in political systems.
The aim of the workshop is first to define
networks and address methodological problems
linked to the study of networks; secondly
to identify and locate corrupting processes
at the local/national level through an exploration
of the role and nature of networks in exerting
(undue) influence over politics and economic
allocations; and finally to provide potential
strategies for tackling those influences
and processes.
Topics:
| 1. |
An overview of the
dynamic exchange between the various
actors that contribute to modern governance
|
2. Methodological problems and difficulties
with studying informal networks in Eastern

The term political economy of corruption
describes the interactions between political
processes and economic policies and their
resulting impact on the production and distribution
of corruption. Globalisation, combined with
today’s market liberalisation policies,
has significantly changed these interactions.
The overall aim of workshops 5.4 and 5.5
is to analyse the impact of recent and current
economic reforms on corruption with a view
to indentify the source of corrupt incentives
and to make recommendations on the possible
way of addressing corruption ? within the
framework of existing or alternative reform
models.
Topics:
| 1. |
Evidence and examination
of the link between international
state capture, fusion and internationally
driven economic reforms |
| 2. |
Lessons and options
available to those involved in designing
economic reforms as well as anti-corruption
policies for freeing the captured
state |
| 3. |
Identifying the location
of and conduits for corrupt incentives
provided for privatisation and post-privatisation |
| 4. |
Possible means of reducing
corrupt incentives, increasing the
chances of detection and raising the
costs of corruption |
| 5. |
Critical review of the
content and sequencing of economic
reforms in light of the impact on
corruption |
| 6. |
The role of national
governments (developed, developing
and transitional) as well as donors |
| 7. |
Constraints on and potential
action to be taken at the national
level |
| 8. |
Constraints on and potential
of international measures aimed at
deterring and detecting international
