Fighting Corruption on the Transdnistrian Border: Lessons from Failed and Successful Anti-Corruption Programmes
In 2007, both Moldovan and Ukrainian authorities took firm steps to reduce corruption along the Transdnistrian border. This paper - aimed mainly at anti-corruption practitioners and scholars in public administration - discusses the background and underlying principles guiding the anti-corruption work being adopted by both governments in order to facilitate discussion about optimal anti-corruption programme design. This paper presents a set of tools used during the planning phase of the anti-corruption programme - outlining the methodology used to assess the extent of corruption on the Transdnistrian Border, the problems of legislative transplants, a "contract test" for defining corruption offenses, a method of risk analysis, and a model of optional anti-corruption programme organizational design
