National integrity systems

National integrity systems in small Pacific island states (pdf 84Kb)

Studies of 'national integrity systems' are part of the new international concern with corruption and its prevention. This study examines 12 small island states in the South Pacific and tries to explain some of the similarities between the Pacific Island cases, particularly the risks associated with offshore financial centres, trust funds and investments.

The study also reviews proposals for anti corruption reform including stronger parties, independent commissions against corruption, civil society coalitions and greater accountability and transparency.
