David Jackson (2020). How change happens in anti-corruption. A map of policy perspectives. Bergen: Chr. Michelsen Institute (U4 Issue 2020:14)

New thinking around strengthening anti-corruption approaches has focused on questions of agency, that is, who and what is most likely to bring about sustainable reductions in corruption. Five perspectives to emerge – indirect, localisation, nurturing norms, big bang, and transnational (state to state) – are based on alternative theories of change to conventional anti-corruption approaches. Taken together, they suggest additional directions in anti-corruption policy for practitioners.
