Abstract

In the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltics, and the Commonwealth of Independent States, the simultaneous process of developing a market economy, designing new political and social institutions, and redistributing social assets have created fertile ground for corruption. Many governments throughout the region have made combating corruption a priority and have turned to the World Bank for assistance in designing feasible anti-corruption strategies. This report seeks to unbundle the varies practices of corruption to identify and compare different patterns of the problem across transition countries. It then draws out lessons for tailoring anti-corruption strategies to address the variation across the region in an effort to target reforms more effectively. The report draws on a multitude of sources and ongoing research and lessons of experience, including the Bank's work in this area. However the report does not seek to review the Bank's operations or set specific strategic guidelines for its operational work in this area. It is intended as a contribution to the growing policy dialogue on developing practical strategies for reducing corruption.
