Sources of Corruption in Brazil." Third World Quarterly 13
(4): 641-661.
This article discusses the apparent increase of corruption
that occurred in Brazil after its democratic transition under
the Collar Administration. It identifies the paradoxical roots
of corruption in changes in electoral rules and the constitution
at a time when controls were being relaxed. Government officials
were able to extract revenues for personal use because the rules
over their actions were not enforced.
German, M. Peter.2000. "To Bribe or Not To
Bribe - a less than ethical dilemma, resolved"
Bribery of public officers has been an offence under Canada's criminal
law, since its codification in 1892. This article examines the background to
the legislation, its provisions, its strengths and its weaknesses. The legislation
will have an effect on how Canadians and Canadian corporations carry on business
abroad. For that reason alone, an understanding of the legislation is of the
utmost importance, the article argues.

This chapter argues that an international backlash against
corruption has been manifest in the outcry among governments and
international non-governmental organizations. The effort to extend
the United States' Foreign Corrupt Practices Act internationally
is evidence of this globalization of intolerance.

Gould, David J. and Jose A. Amaro-Reyes. 1983. "The
Effects of Corruption on Administrative Performance: Illustrations
from Developing Countries." World Bank Staff Working Papers
Number 580. Washington: The World Bank.
This working paper argues that conditions in the developing
world make corruption a strong problem. It notes that rapid socio-economic
change, strong kinship and ethnic ties, and new institutions
combined with political softness, widespread inequalities, and
a state lacking legitimacy are conducive to corruption. Considering
that corruption has a deleterious impact on development, the
paper concludes that a political and public climate that favors
impartiality and clean government is necessary for a reduction
in corrupt behavior.
Gray, Cheryl W. and Danil Kaufmann. 1998. "Corruption
and Development," Finance & Development, March.
The article explores the many causes of corruption and its
economic costs. The results of theoretical and empirical research
on corruption conducted in recent years are discussed. The authors
argue against the claim that bribery can have positive effects
by giving firms and individuals a means of avoiding burdensome
regulations and ineffective legal systems. Corruption, they say,
fuels the growth of excessive and discretionary regulations. It
can be contained by economic and public sector reforms, including
lowering tariffs and other barriers to international trade; eliminating
enterprise subsidies; minimizing regulations, licensing requirements,
and other barriers to entry for new firms and investors, demonopolizing
and privatizing government assets; and transparently enforcing
prudential banking regulations and auditing and accounting standards.
The reform of government institutions may include civil service
reform; improved budgeting, financial management, and tax administration;
and strengthened legal and judicial systems. The proposed anti-corruption
measures are especially valuable for developing and transition
economies.

Corruption as well as crime is first of all a social and economic
and then an administrative, political or criminal event, the author
believes. The real reasons for corruption hide in the impossibility
to provide conditions for normal existence in a legal way. That
is why curbing corruption by administrative measures is difficult
to achieve. However, this is what the government is trying to
do by using the so-called political cabinets. This act of the
government has much more a propaganda effect than any real contribution
to the fight against corruption.
