Synopsis:
Corruption is a serious problem in many countries around the world, according to Transparency International's 2012 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) and the World Bank's 2011 Control of Corruption governance indicator. However, some countries/jurisdictions like New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, Singapore and Hong Kong SAR of China, have consistently performed better on these two indicators than other countries. This book seeks to explain why these five countries/jurisdictions have succeeded in combating corruption; and identify the lessons which other countries can learn from these successful experiences.
