Transparency and corruption in Latin America. Rethinking strategies to address the region’s problems

Abstract

This forum rethinks anti-corruption strategies and issues in Latin American countries. For this purpose, six reflections are presented from a comparative perspective in contexts characterised by low institutionalisation, informal structures, and institutional mechanisms that reproduce symbolic and material inequalities. In particular, this collaboration aims to integrate emerging issues such as citizen participation, the gender factor, and the link between corruption and organised crime alongside traditional topics like the regulation of oversight entities, the principle of good administration, and the role of representatives and bureaucrats.
