About the Book

With a focus on corruption in construction and post-war reconstruction, the 2005 edition of Transparency International's Global Corruption Report (GCR) identifies some of today's most pressing issues in the fight against corruption around the world. The construction sector is regularly rated the most corrupt sector worldwide. The GCR 2005 explores the mechanisms and impact of corruption in construction, particularly in major infrastructure projects. The report includes case studies of major corruption cases in both the developed and developing world. It includes an assessment of the costs of corruption -- both in economic terms and in its impact on the environment and the loss of human lives. Recommendations address both governments and the private sector. A special feature on post-war reconstruction examines why post-war situations are particularly prone to corruption, and what can be done to overcome this problem. It includes an extended assessment of corruption in post-war Iraq, as well as case studies on Bosnia and Sierra Leone. The GCR also presents Transparency International's annual assessment of the latest trends in corruption and the fight against it. Forty-four country reports provide critical analysis of new national anti-corruption legislation, institutional reforms and recent cases. Rounding out the report, a data and research section presents Transparency International's own Corruption Perceptions Index as well as other recent empirical research, including links between corruption and key concerns such as pollution, gender and foreign investment.

About the Author :
Transparency International is an politically non-partisan NGO building dedicated solely to curbing corruption, increasing government accountability and improving transparency in business transactions. It has authored several reports on global corruption including, Global Corruption Report 2006 (Pluto, 2005).

Review :
The Global Corruption Report is the first attempt by any organisation to map the global fight against corruption. A kind of travel-guide to the jungle of various standards and practices in different world regions. There can be little doubt that Transparency International is performing an essential function. The Global Corruption Report…makes very compelling reading for anyone interested in ethical standards in international politics and business. TI has once again shown its ability to combine research and policy analysis not just to shine a light on the deeply embedded problems of corruption in the international construction industry, but to propose progressive solutions to safeguard public monies and public trust.
