{"title":"Corruption Markets: An Analytical Framework for Assessing Anti-Corruption Campaigns","authors":"V. Vasileva, A. Vorobyev","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2537348","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2537348","url":null,"abstract":"Assuming that there is a “missing factor” in the modern corruption studies, authors develop a new conceptual approach to the study of corruption and effectiveness of anti-corruption regulations in the public service. This “missing factor” is a “corruption market”, particularly, its size, type and nature. Conflict of interest regulations aim at controlling key channels of corruption behavior, and corruption market in its turn determines prevailing channels of existing corruption behavior. Misidentification of corruption market’s type is the main reason for the failure of anti-corruption policies, no matter how new and effective models are imported.Corruption market’s size is defined as the number and average price of corruption deal. The nature of corruption market depends on the side, capable of setting the final price of corruption deal. Resulting from institutional characteristics of public administration, corruption markets are either seller’s or buyer’s markets. Seller’s corruption markets are sensible to ethic regulations of public service, and the only effective way of tackling buyer’s corruption markets are “cut-red-tape” reforms and introduction of compliance-based regulation of conflict of interest. Type of corruption market encompasses 3 dimensions: quality of institutions, scope of regulations and degree of regulations. Basing on the introduced model, authors identify and analyze 8 types of existing corruption markets. Each type of corruption market has its own transformational dynamics and, consequently, own opportunities for anti-corruption policies.A new conceptual model of corruption market evolution is introduced in the article. Transformations of corruption markets depend on several factors. The key factors are personalization of political regime, “new public management” reforms of public administration, populist policies and creation of rentier states, and set up of the Welfare State.","PeriodicalId":201243,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Public Administration (Development) (Topic)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131972853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis begins with a quick look at the controversial relation between aid, growth and poverty in order to provide a basis for understanding aid effectiveness as well as some of the ongoing debates and limitations in the development assistance field. It then gives an insight on the current state of Turkey's development assistance to fragile states and briefly explains major characteristics of Turkey's aid policies and practices in fragile state contexts. The study focuses on describing the necessity for shifting Turkey's development assistance paradigm and is concluded with recommending a new paradigm along with its operational framework in three pillars namely; Institutionalizing Peace, Building the Functional State and Risk Distribution.","PeriodicalId":201243,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Public Administration (Development) (Topic)","volume":"272 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114478933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Possible Impact of Seventh Central Pay Commission Recommendations on Income Distribution in India","authors":"P. Das","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.2521755","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.2521755","url":null,"abstract":"The former Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh approved the constitution of the ‘Seventh Central Pay Commission (CPC)’ for revising the salary and other benefits of eight million central government employees and pensioners after seven years of sixth pay commission. The sitting of Seventh Pay Commission was declared just before the election. The expected benefits to the Government employees and pensioners would be considerable. The study surveyed articles on earlier pay commissions and their impact on income distribution in India. The study found that the implementation of earlier Central Pay Commission (CPC) recommendations put tremendous pressure on the state exchequer. Although beneficiaries of CPC recommendations would enjoy good life, the number is negligible. The paper also compiles expert opinions and comments from industry bodies. In this paper, the author puts forth the stories of exploitation of private employees which the victims described during interaction. This paper aims to help the reader study the impact of seventh pay commission from different angles and would probably suggest to the Government of India to take a fresh look to the issue. It would perhaps help individuals and social institutions come out to the open for establishing a stable and more equitable society. The study also tried to identify the research gaps so that the cost and impact of pay commission recommendations could be studied comprehensively in future.","PeriodicalId":201243,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Public Administration (Development) (Topic)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129699108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many countries, both public and private sectors advance internal audit as a profession, process, and body of knowledge. The Philippines is one country that put in place the policy framework mainstreaming internal audit in government operations. However, after more than four decades since the first law on internal auditing was enacted, a significant number of government agencies are unable to officially establish an internal audit unit (IAU). This paper answers the following questions: (1) What initiatives have been undertaken by the Philippine government to institutionalize internal audit services (IAS)?

This 'e-governance' can make governance more efficient and more effective, and bring other benefits too. This paper outlines the three main contributions of e-governance: improving government processes (e-administration); connecting citizens (e-citizens and e-services); and building external interactions (e-society). Case studies are used to show that e-governance is a current, not just future, reality for developing countries. However, most e-governance initiatives fail. Countries therefore face two challenges. First, the strategic challenge of e-readiness: preparing six identified pre-conditions for e-governance. Second, the tactical challenge of closing design — reality gaps: adopting best practice in e-governance projects in order to avoid failure and to achieve success. A vision for change is therefore outlined of which more details are given in a related paper.","PeriodicalId":201243,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Public Administration (Development) (Topic)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116813838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
