This book suggests how high levels of corruption limit investment and growth can lead to ineffective government. Developing countries and those making a transition from socialism are particularly at risk, but corruption is a worldwide phenomenon. Corruption creates economic inefficiencies and inequities, but reforms are possible to reduce the material benefits from payoffs. Corruption is not just an economic problem, however; it is also intertwined with politics. Reform may require changes in both constitutional structures and the underlying relationship of the market and the state. Effective reform cannot occur unless both the international community and domestic political leaders support change. No single 'blueprint' is possible, but the primary goal should be to reduce the gains from paying and receiving bribes, not simply to remove 'bad apples'.

The countries of Central Europe in the first round for admission to the European Union have all established constitutional, electoral democracies and market economies. However, much remains to be done to achieve fully consolidated democratic states. This study documents the weaknesses of public oversight and participation in policymaking in Hungary and Poland, two of the most advanced countries in the region. It discusses five alternative routes to accountability including European Union oversight, constitutional institutions such as presidents and courts, devolution to lower-level governments, the use of neo-corporatist bodies, and open-ended participation rights. It urges more emphasis on the fifth option, public participation. Case studies of the environmental movement in Hungary and of student groups in Poland illustrate these general points. The book reviews the United States' experience of open-ended public participation and draws some lessons for the transition countries from the strengths and weaknesses of the American system.

"The question of how much rule-making authority a legislature can delegate to executive bureaus and agencies has recently become a source of controversy. Conservatives, who wish to limit the regulatory reach of the executive branch, advocate what Susan Rose-Ackerman calls a "transmission-belt" model, in which all relevant policy decisions are contained in the enabling statute, and the executive agency simply carries them out. The opposite approach is something she calls "chain of legitimacy," in which the legislature, by creating an agency and giving it a broad mandate, explicitly authorizes it to create policy. There are other models as well, but none, she argues, is a good fit with the needs of regulating in the public interest. Using a cross-national comparison of public policymaking in the United States, France, Britain and Germany, Rose-Ackerman argues that public participation must take a greater role in policymaking if regulatory legitimacy is to be preserved"--
