Abstract

The emergence of corruption as a security threat, replacing the more patronizing and benevolent view of corruption as a threat to development, offers serious food for thought. After 9/11, the problem was that foreign individuals put bombs in Western capitals, not that they bought soccer clubs or laundered their ill-gotten gains. While due to antiterrorism regulations some progress has been made to make international finance more transparent, narrowing down the grey and black areas through transparency is very much still an unfinished job. The world has not exhausted transparency as a tool to prevent corruption, as the new real transparency measurement T-index presented in this book shows. Changing the rules of the game, rather than just chasing individual kleptocrats, is the only path to change a country. The Corruption Risk Forecast (CRF) presented in this final chapter is a public, free of cost instrument, allowing strategies in this regard.
