摘要

本文探讨了一个国家如何打击腐败和勾结,并防止这些做法困扰和破坏公共采购过程的问题。这个问题对巴西尤其重要,因为巴西的洗车行动(opera o Lava Jato)揭露了影响公共采购的普遍腐败和勾结。虽然本文关注的是巴西,但它反映了一场关于一个国家如何摆脱“高腐败”均衡的学术和政策辩论,尤其是在与供应商勾结的互动中得到加强的均衡。特别是,地方性腐败是否可以通过加强执法力度,辅以渐进式变革的战略来打击,或者是否需要一些“大爆炸”方法,进行彻底的制度改革,以建立新的平衡。报告指出,巴西的经验为以下假设提供了支持:在腐败猖獗的地方,更好的法律和执法本身可能不足以打破一个循环,也不足以消除存在的腐败和勾结的动机和机会。然而,它也承认,对许多司法管辖区来说,大规模的大爆炸式改革不太可能可行。因此,它提出了一套多管齐下、自我强化的改革方案,以引发变革,重点关注金融体系中诊断出的弱点。报告特别指出,在腐败影响到公共采购的地方,除了对采购、竞争和反腐败法律进行具体调整外,采购人员、反腐败和竞争执法机构需要密切合作,协调政策,实现协同效应,并打击采购过程中滋生腐败和勾结的动机和机会。这些改革必须与解决导致系统性腐败的更广泛因素的措施相结合。虽然受到巴西案例研究的启发,但诊断和提出的改革战略为其他司法管辖区提供了一个可行的模式。

Lessons from Operation Car Wash
This paper examines the question of how a nation can combat corruption and collusion and prevent these practices from plaguing and undermining public procurement processes. This matter is especially important to Brazil where Operation Car Wash (Operação Lava Jato) exposed widespread corruption and collusion affecting public procurement.

Although focusing on Brazil, this paper reflects an academic and policy debate as to how a nation can escape from a “high-corruption” equilibrium, especially one strengthened by its interaction with supplier collusion. In particular, whether endemic corruption can be combatted through an invigorated law enforcement push accompanied by strategies of incremental change, or whether some “big bang” approach, with complete institutional overhaul, is required to establish a new equilibrium.

The paper notes that the Brazilian experience provides support for the hypothesis that where corruption is endemic, better laws, and law enforcement, may be insufficient on their own to break a cycle and to remove the incentives and opportunities for corruption and collusion that exist. It also recognises, however, that, for many jurisdictions, wholesale big bang reform is unlikely to be feasible. It thus proposes a multipronged, and self-reinforcing, set of reforms to trigger change, concentrated on weaknesses diagnosed in the system. In particular, it suggests that where corruption affects public procurement, beyond specific adjustments to procurement, competition and anti-corruption laws, procurers, anti-corruption and competition enforcement agencies need to work closely together to coordinate policies and achieve synergies, and to combat incentives and opportunities for corruption and collusion within procurement processes. Such reforms must be combined with measures to tackle broader factors contributing to systemic corruption. Although inspired by the Brazilian case study, the diagnosis and proposed reform strategy provides a workable model for use in other jurisdictions.
