- Curbing Asian corruption: an impossible dream?
-
This paper asserts that corruption in Asia can be minimised only if political leaders are willing to impartially implement effective anticorruption strategies. These include paying civil servants adequate salaries, reducing opportunities for corruption in wet agencies by cutting red tape and unnecessary regulation, improving the supervision of civil servants in vulnerable positions, and increasing the probability of detecting and punishing corrupt individuals.
