Synopsis

Why leadership is key to ending political and corporate corruption globally

Corruption corrodes all facets of the world's political and corporate life, yet until now there was no one book that explained how best to battle it. The Corruption Cure puts some thirty-five countries under an anticorruption microscope to show exactly how to beat back the forces of sleaze and graft. Robert Rotberg defines corruption in its many forms, describes the available remedies, and examines how we identify and measure corruption's presence. He demonstrates how determined past and contemporary leaders changed their wildly corrupt countries-even the Nordics-into paragons of virtue, and how leadership is making a significant difference in stimulating political anticorruption movements in places like India, Croatia, Botswana, and Rwanda. Rotberg looks at corporate corruption and how it can be checked, and also offers an innovative fourteen-step plan for nations that are ready to end corruption. Tougher laws and better prosecutions are not enough. This book enables us to rethink the problem completely-and to solve it once and for all.

Media Reviews
One of the International Affairs Blog Top 5 Books: December 2017
An exhaustive description of the current state of corruption. . . . The strength of [Rotberg's] book is its focus on change. -Paul Collier, Times Literary Supplement
A veritable tour de force, both intellectually and in scope. Rotberg is one of the most knowledgeable researchers in this field, and he also has impressive experience from practical efforts and policies for reducing corruption. I am convinced that The Corruption Cure will become a standard reference for a long time. -Bo Rothstein, author of The Quality of Government
As we renew the effort towards progress . . . we need a clear sense of where we have been. The Corruption Cure provides that sort of foundation, and will be a key starting-point for debates and actions to come. -Michael Johnston, International Affairs
