Fighting Corruption
Autor: Alejandro Bendaña
(Book, published May 2008)


The dominant definition of corruption – which then informs or misleads the ways to address corruption -- is much too narrow. The way most people view corruption is itself the result of the systemic abuse of economic power as it presents itself globally.
The book Fighting Corruption: A Non-Corporate Perspective presents a global justice perspective that puts corruption in the contemporary context of corporate globalization. Published by the Centro de Estudios Internacionales in cooperation with the International South Group Network and Jubilee South, the book aims to reach important constituencies outraged about corruption and to help channel that understanding into a broader movement that tackles corruption at the root and structural level, and not simply in a few corporate-friendly limited expressions.

The author, Alejandro Bendaña, presents a view in which corruption is a process facilitated by institutions and economic interests, and not simply single acts by single individuals chiefly in the South. With this in mind, he presents a broader and more contemporary understanding of corruption that can help people, victims in particular, account for many of the daily economic injustices suffered.
Alejandro Bendaña is Chair of the Centro de Estudios Internacionales in Managua, Nicaragua and a member of the International Coordinating Committees of Jubilee South and the International South Group Network.
