摘要

摘要腐败是拉丁美洲长期存在的治理特征。最近，多个国家的政府卷入了巴西一家大型建筑公司的重大贿赂丑闻。哥伦比亚首都波哥大很有意思，因为在20世纪90年代和21世纪初，它引入了旨在防止公共合同分配中腐败的新程序。这些程序显然失败了，因为在2008年至2010年间，该市市长向一些极为可疑的公司提供了重大合同。在拉丁美洲，有罪的市长与许多地方议员和承包商一起被监禁，这是不寻常的。本文解释了防止腐败的努力是如何失败的，以及此后采取了哪些措施来防止腐败再次发生。波哥大的经验很重要，因为它是拉丁美洲管理最好的城市之一，如果它不能控制腐败，该地区几乎没有城市能做到这一点。

Corruption in Urban Latin America: The Case of Bogotá

ABSTRACT Corruption is a long-standing feature of governance in Latin America. Recently, numerous governments have been caught up in a major bribery scandal operated by a major Brazilian building company. Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, is interesting because, in the 1990s and early 2000s, it introduced new processes aimed at preventing corruption in the allocation of public contracts. These processes clearly failed because, between 2008 and 2010, the city’s mayor offered major contracts to some extremely dubious companies. Unusually for Latin America, the guilty mayor has been jailed, along with numerous local Councillors and the contractors. This paper explains how attempts to prevent corruption failed and what steps have been taken since to prevent it happening again. Bogotá’s experience is important because it is one of the best-run cities in Latin America and, if it cannot control corruption, few cities in the region will manage to either.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Regional and Local History aims to publish high-quality academic articles which address the history of regions and localities in the medieval, early-modern and modern eras. Regional and local are defined in broad terms, encouraging their examination in both urban and rural contexts, and as administrative, cultural and geographical entities. Regional histories may transcend both local and national boundaries, and offer a means of interrogating the temporality of such structures. Such histories might broaden understandings arrived at through a national focus or help develop agendas for future exploration. The subject matter of regional and local histories invites a number of methodological approaches including oral history, comparative history, cultural history and history from below. We welcome contributions situated in these methodological frameworks but are also keen to elicit inter-disciplinary work which seeks to understand the history of regions or localities through the methodologies of geography, sociology or cultural studies. The journal also publishes book reviews and review articles on themes relating to regional or local history.
