	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Political corruption (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Corruption in elections and in legislative bodies reduces accountability and distorts representation in policymaking; corruption in the judiciary compromises rule of law; and corruption in public administration results in the unfair provision of services.
		Corruption also generates economic distortions in the public sector by diverting public investment into capital projects where bribes and kickbacks are more plentiful.
		Measuring corruption - in the statistical sense, to compare countries - is naturally not a straight-forward matter, since the participants are generally unforthcoming in regards to it.

		The fight against corruption is a long-term, multi-faceted effort, which requires radical withdrawal of the state from the economy, reform of the administrative system, education of public officials about their due habits, perceptions and practices, public education that would enhance the possibilities of citizens to exercise control over institutions.
		The contemporary forms of corruption were generated by the BSP in the beginning of the 1990s when the former communists, through proxies, exercised the real power in the economic sector.

		Corruption in the Philippines is so pervasive that, according to these experts, it now requires an outsider with a formidable background and, perhaps, no known local roots to deal with it.
		Corruption has consistently been cited as one of the main reasons investors are often unwilling to make capital commitments, why the bureaucracy is weak and why Filipinos are among the worst off in the region.
		Corruption in the Philippines is viewed as a “low-risk, high-return crime.” A 2004 report by the UN Development Program said that as much as 100 billion pesos, or $1.8 billion - 13 percent of the government’s 780-billion-peso annual budget - is lost to corruption every year, most of it in public-works contracts, supplies and equipment.

		Corruption may be invisible, small, contained to one person or a few people, but like the gremlin in the computer, its mere existence in your organization puts everything you stand for at risk.
		Police corruption particularly is often relative to the degree of corruption in the society as a whole and in particular the degree of corruption in other public offices like government.
		Corruption itself may reflect failed human nature, but the management of corruption as a resource of criminals introduces a complexity to the issue that cannot be underestimated.

		For example, commissions to military officers on arms purchases were considered by most of the 2,243 people questioned in one survey as corruption, but only seven percent considered nepotism - for instance, promoting someone because he or she is a relative - as a corrupt practice.
		The first step in addressing corruption is to understand the nature of the problem and to define its levels and extent, recognizing that the diagnosis of corruption that applies today may not apply tomorrow as the disease mutates and takes on different forms.
		Corruption is most common when someone has monopoly power over goods or a service, has the discretion to decide who receives how much of it, and is not accountable for the decisions.

	CorpWatch : Tobacco Companies Linked to Criminal Organizations in Lucrative Cigarette Smuggling

	Tax Evasion Syndicate Spirited $50bn Out Of China
		Hong Kong's Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) said the syndicate, which included senior bank staff, smuggled up to $50 bn over the past five years, using couriers to smuggle Chinese currency, Hong Kong dollars and other currencies from Guangdong and Fujian into Hong Kong.
		The cash is supposed to represent the undeclared profits of mainland businessmen as well as the proceeds of criminal activity, which would end up in respectable Hong Kong bank accounts under different or nominee names after laundering, before being transferred onwards into overseas bank accounts.
		The activities of this ring, and perhaps others like it, may help to explain the enormous figures reported for international capital transfers in and out of Hong Kong in the last two years, for which no convincing explanation has been given by the authorities.
