New Publication: Anti-Corruption Plain Language Guide

TI has developed the first “Anti-Corruption Plain Language Guide”. The guide provides standardised, easy-to-understand definitions for 45 key terms commonly used by the anti-corruption movement – from ‘access to information’ to ‘whistle blowing’. Each term includes a practical example of how TI approaches these issues and helpful links for further research.

To create a world free of corruption, its causes and consequences must be understood.

TI’s policy and research work rigorously analyses the many aspects of corruption and searches for practical actions to combat it – globally, nationally and locally. In-depth qualitative and quantitative research is based around the organisation’s five global priorities.

The Policy and Research Department strategically leads TI’s work in this area. It focuses on generating new insights and perspectives into corruption through original and high-quality knowledge products: surveys and indices, global reports, country studies, toolkits, working papers and policy positions, and expert briefs/answers. These are produced in collaboration with the broader anti-corruption movement and used by a wide variety of stakeholders – from policy-makers and citizens, to companies and the media.
