Proceedings of the ADB OECD Conference on Combating Corruption, held in Seoul in 2000

This book assembles the papers presented during the Joint ADB-OECD Conference on Combating Corruption in the Asian and Pacific region held in Seoul, Korea in December 2000. The Seoul conference identified priorities for a successful fight against corruption, including

- promoting good governance through legal, institutional, and administrative reforms;

- strengthening the rule of law;

- promoting integrity in business operations; and

- developing proactive strategies to promote citizens' participation in anti-corruption efforts.

Against this background, this publication provides a review of successful anti-corruption strategies already in place and explores and analyzes new approaches. Moreover, it aims to foster the sharing of information and experience and to strengthen coordination and cooperation among key players in the fight against corruption.
