The EU is many things: a civilization ideal to emulate, an anchor of geopolitical stabilization, a generous donor and a historical lesson on cooperation across nations. A fixer of national governance problems, however, it is not. In this book, Mungiu-Pippidi investigates the efficacy of the European Union's promotion of good governance through its funding and conditionalities both within EU proper and in the developing world. The evidence assembled shows that the idea of European power to transform the quality of governance is largely a myth. From Greece to Egypt and from Kosovo to Turkey, EU interventions in favour of good governance and anti-corruption policy have failed so far to trigger the domestic political dynamic needed to ensure sustainable change. Mungiu-Pippidi explores how we can better bridge the gap between the Europe of treaties and the reality of governance in Europe and beyond. This book will interest students and scholars of comparative politics, European politics, and development studies, particularly those examining governance and corruption.

Driven by an international agenda, the act of 'rethinking' corruption has already taken place more than once in the past two decades, contributing further to a post-truth about corruption than to anything else. This book makes a clear argument in favor of rethinking corruption across any contingency and offers a forecasting method, alongside the latest generation of analytical, fact-based tools to map, assess and predict corruption risk. Mungiu-Pippidi argues that corruption is a policy problem frequently overriding individual choice, and can only be tackled by strong policy interventions, not by 'nudging' every individual into honesty. Chapters explain that corruption has not decreased despite unprecedented efforts because the international context presently creates far more opportunities for it than constraints: few nations, governments or international organizations have proven able to solve the social dilemma of corruption. Meanwhile, many countries, governments, businesses and politicians profit from a world order where integrity cannot be enforced and perpetuate the current status quo. Rethinking Corruptionwill be crucial reading for academics and students of political science, sociology and law seeking to understand the theoretical dimensions of corruption. It will also be an enlightening read for policy makers, administrators and practitioners looking to rethink how corruption can manifest.

Corruption has an impact. It is about time that anticorruption starts having an impact, too. This is the first annual policy report of the European Seventh Framework Research Project ANTICORRP, which has started in 2012 and will continue until 2018. Based on the work of 21 different research centers and universities gathering original data, ANTICORRP offers yearly updates on the latest from corruption research, analyzing both the consequences of corruption and the impact of policies attempting to curb it. This first report offers a methodology to evaluate corruption risk and quality of government at country, region and sector level by means of corruption indicators that are sensitive to change and policy intervention. The aim of the project is to offer testable, easy to handle policies which reduce corruption risk. Corruption distorts market competition, bolsters deficits on behalf of discretionary spending, hurts real investment in public health and education, reduces tax collection, detriments the absorption rate of EU funds, and generates vulnerable employment and brain drain. This study estimates that if EU member states would all manage to control corruption at the Danish level, tax collection in Europe would increase by 323 billion Euro per year - double of the EU budget for 2013. Korruptes Verhalten unterläuft die legalen Institutionen und Regeln eines politischen Systems und ruft bei Wahrnehmung beziehungsweise Aufdeckung eine Erosion des Vertrauens der Bürger_innen hervor. Entsprechend ist Korruption ein wichtiger Untersuchungsgegenstand der Wissenschaft. Die Erforschung stellt die empirisch?analytisch arbeitende Politikwissenschaft allerdings vor überaus große Herausforderungen, denn Korruption ist informell und größtenteils illegal, findet also vielfach im Geheimen statt. Am durch das 7. EU?Forschungsrahmenprogramm geförderte Projekt ANTICORRP (Anticorruption Policies Revisited: Global Trends and European Responses to the Challenge of Corruption) nehmen 21 Forschungszentren und Universitäten teil, die seit 2012 für die EU, Südosteuropa und das Gebiet der früheren Sowjetunion Daten sammeln. Sie versuchen auf dieser Grundlage Aussagen über die Gründe und Mechanismen, die Perzeptionen, Erfahrungen und Konsequenzen von Korruption sowie die Auswirkungen von Antikorruptionspolitiken zu treffen. Das Buch ist der erste Jahresbericht von ANTICORRP. Pw-portal.de, 31.07.2014
