  • Anti-Corruption: Who Cares?
    Challenges in Managing Sustainable Business, 2018
    Co-Authors: Steven Sampson
    Abstract:

    Why do certain organizational actors decide that fighting corruption should now become a policy priority? This chapter problematizes engagement in fighting corruption, in terms of why businesses, governments, international organizations and NGOs choose to make Anti-Corruption a priority and how they go about fighting corruption, including their degree of genuine engagement. In describing the emergence of what I call ‘Anti-Corruptionism’, this paper argues that we need to look more closely at the interests and agendas of those actors in the Anti-Corruption industry, including the kinds of corruption they are fighting. Two major Anti-Corruptionist discourses are described: the one emphasizes the progress in fighting corruption through laws, conventions, campaigns, and transparency; the other discourse is a more pessimistic scenario emphasizing the continued persistence of corruption, as revealed by the Panama and Paradise Papers and almost daily corruption scandals at the highest corporate and government levels; this second, cynical discourse highlights the failure of the Anti-Corruption industry to actually reduce corruption. The implications of these two parallel discourses are that we need to be more explicit about the definition of corruption, and the kind of corruption we are fighting. We need to assess the engagement of Anti-Corruption actors, and we need to reconsider the move toward ‘transparency’ and ‘reporting’ as the magic bullet. Problematizing who cares about Anti-Corruption and why they care can not only help put Anti-Corruption in its proper sociopolitical context. It can also lead the way toward more effective Anti-Corruption programs.

  • The Anti-Corruption package ∗
    2015
    Co-Authors: Steven Sampson
    Abstract:

    But the global corruption regime, what I have called the ‘Anti-Corruption industry’, is little more than a decade old (Sampson, 2010a). What has happened over the last 15 years or so to make Anti-Corruption highest priority for international donors, a budget line with aid agencies, a slogan for both NGOs and authoritarian politicians, and a campaign in countries that would hardly qualify on the Freedom House Democracy Index? Why is Anti-Corruption hot?

  • The Anti-Corruption Industry: From Movement to Institution
    Global Crime, 2010
    Co-Authors: Steven Sampson
    Abstract:

    This article describes the concept of ‘industry’, often used pejoratively in critiques of international development, and applies it to the field of Anti-Corruption. The characteristics of the Anti-Corruption industry, including Anti-Corruptionist discourse, resemble that which has taken place in development aid, human rights, civil society and gender equality. The Anti-Corruption industry thus includes key global actors, secondary actors who look for ‘signals’ and an apparatus of understandings, knowledge, statistics and measures, all of which tend to prioritise Anti-Corruption institutions over Anti-Corruption activism. It is argued that the questionable impact of Anti-Corruption programmes enables the Anti-Corruption industry to coexist along with the corruption it ostensibly is combating. Instead of viewing Anti-Corruption as hegemonic, we need to critically examine the consequences of the global institutionalisation of Anti-Corruptionist discourse and Anti-Corruption practice.

  • Anti-Corruption VALUES AGAINST ANTI-VALUES OF CORRUPTION
    Российский государственный профессионально-педагогический университет, 2020
    Co-Authors: Никоряк, В. В., Nikoryak V.
    Abstract:

    Corruption – bribery and any other behavior of persons in violation of official duties in order to obtain any illegal benefits to themselves and others. This is an abuse of state power, rights and obligations that provide corruption to the authorities for personal gain. Getting them any illegal benefits for themselves and others - this is nothing more than corruption anti-value (the term M. S. Kagan), which causes the appeal of corruption in the eyes of many peopleКоррупция – взяточничество и любое другое поведение лиц в нарушении должностных обязанностей с целью получения любых незаконных выгод себе и другим. Это ‒ злоупотребление государственной властью, правами и обязанностями, которые предоставляет коррупционерам власть для получения личной выгоды. Получение ими любых незаконных выгод для себя и других ‒ это ничто иное, как коррупционная антиценность (термин М.С. Кагана), которая и вызывает привлекательность коррупции в глазах многих людей.
