World Corruption Scandals

The book delves into the critical role of citizen opinion in combating corruption, highlighting the results of recent Eurobarometer surveys. It reveals that a significant portion of the population perceives corruption as escalating, with 70% believing it is widespread. The findings indicate a general disillusionment with state efforts to tackle corruption, as most citizens and business leaders attribute the issue to the close ties between politics and business. The narrative emphasizes the gap between public sentiment and governmental effectiveness in addressing corruption through legal and strategic measures.
