Abstract
"In debates on policies for good governance, the fight against corruption is seen as central. Sarah Repucci (page 255) reports on a new Freedom House tool – ‘Countries at the Crossroads’ – that assessed aspects of government performance in 30 countries that were low performers in other Freedom House surveys. A striking finding was that of all the indicators related to governance, governments’ transparency and anti-corruption efforts were weakest. This finding underlines the urgent need to assist weaker states in developing integrity systems, a point that drives Transparency International’s work. Much of the research featured in the Global Corruption Report focuses on public sector institutions. In Kenya, for instance (page 246), the police rank very poorly, while in the Pacific island states ombudsmen are viewed as ineffective (page 243)."(pg 229)
