In light of globalization, the exclusive focus on compliance-oriented measures such as sharpening laws seems to be more and more ineffective. \n\nApparently, the problem is not so much a lack of anti-corruption regulation, but rather a lack of enforcement of existing regulatory frameworks. This governance gap is increasingly tackled by the business sector. As a consequence, new governance mechanisms characterized by the involvement of non-state actors have emerged in recent years, in an attempt to fill this gap.\n\nThese Coordinated Governance Initiatives in which companies along with representatives of other societal sectors join forces to tackle the problem of corruption have not been in the focus of research so far. More research is needed particularly on the effectiveness of these collective anti-corruption efforts to explain whether this approach is useful to curb corruption. Therefore, we attempt to identify potential success factors of Coordinated Governance Initiatives that aim to curb corruption by means of a qualitative multiple-case study.\n\nTwenty semi-structured interviews were conducted with members of three different initiatives. Additionally, secondary data sources were examined. Three different anti-corruption initiatives were selected: the Ethics Management of the Bavarian Construction Industry (EMB), the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), and the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN). \n\nWe found five success factors and one basic prerequisite for sector-specific Coordinated Governance Initiatives. Although the identification of success factors of Coordinated Governance Initiatives is just the first step in the assessment of these initiatives, results indicate that a collective commitment obviously matters when it comes to fighting corruption.",[],[],[21,25],{"tags_id":22},{"id":23,"name":24},982,"Anti-corruption",{"tags_id":26},{"id":27,"name":28},909,"Collective Action",{"id":30,"title":31,"slug":32,"image":6,"type":33,"date_published":15,"publisher":35,"summary":6,"body":36,"area":6,"programme":6,"languages":37,"countries":39,"tags":40},1992,"Fighting Corruption Collectively: How Successful are Sector-Specific Coordinated Governance Initiatives in Curbing Corruption?","fighting-corruption-collectively-how-successful-are-sector-specific-coordinated",[34],"Book","Springer VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften","This book represents the first systematic qualitative analysis of a new type of collective anti-corruption initiatives. The author describes how companies can take responsibility in the fight against corruption and which six success factors play an important role in this difficult endeavor. Despite great international efforts throughout the last two decades, corruption has not significantly decreased on a global level. In light of globalization, private actors increasingly cooperate in the fight against corruption in the context of sector-specific coordinated governance initiatives. In this study, this new collective approach is examined in view of its potential to curb corruption.\n\nTarget groups:\n\n\n- Researchers and students in the fields of politics, economics, and business ethics\n- Practitioners such as compliance managers and other anti-corruption specialists\n",[38],"English",[],[],[],1784560191423]
