Combating Corruption - Implications of the G20 Action Plan for the Asia-Pacific Region

On a brighter side, sparks of hope are kept alive through the recent Anti-Corruption Action Plan brought into being by the 'Group of Twenty' (G20), pledging their commitment to 'Ductus Exemplo - Lead by Example'. While the enforcement of existing anti-corruption conventions is surely a fundamental component of the overarching master plan, the sheer success in ascribing such significance to a vital theme on a global platform alone is a formidable accomplishment. The book covers the developments of the past few years concisely, yet in an informative manner. It sheds light on the extent of corrupt activities in several Asian-Pacific countries, determining the type, cause and measures taken up, in order to curb the spread and institutionalisation of corruption.
