Private sector corruption unveiled in Durban
Based on research drawing on both Durban business and resource extraction, CCS Visiting Scholar Sarah Bracking explores how corruption is framed by respondents and performed by market actors. New types of corruption have emerged due to the increasing complexity of the public-private boundary and the effects of more liberalized markets. Transparency initiatives are largely ineffective. What is acceptable behaviour in the private sector; what is a usable foundational morality?
The currently used concept of private sector corruption does not cover new types of corruption that have emerged in response to the increasing complexity of the public-private boundary and the effects of more liberalized markets. Transparency initiatives are largely ineffective in cases such as South Africa, where the market and state are entwined and political connection is a critical gatekeeper for economic opportunity. The paper advocates both redefinition of the concept of corruption and reform of the process of policy design in anti-corruption work.
