Description - Global Corruption Report 2005 by Transparency International
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.
