One distinctive feature of the anti-corruption activity of the 1990s is the rise of new players, such as specialized anti-corruption bodies. Anti-corruption agencies (ACAs) are public bodies of a durable nature, with a specific mission to fight corruption and reducing the opportunity structures propitious for its occurrence in society through preventive and/or repressive measures. Independently of their format and powers, ACAs encounter various constraints to their mandate, which explains the meagre results obtained by some of them: difficulties (technical, statutory or cultural) in unveiling corruption via complaints; difficulties in obtaining information about corruption and its opportunity structures from other state bodies/agencies; and difficulties in establishing a good working relationship with the political sphere. The burgeoning literature on corruption suggests that the most important issues are the incidence of the phenomenon itself (causes, contexts, processes and effects). Instead, this article argues that anti-corruption activity should now be regarded as an important object of study in its own right. The purpose of this paper is to understand the rise, future, and implications of this new kind of "integrity warriors" and to locate them in the evolving doctrine of corruption control.

The article deals with historical aspects and international experience in developing anti-corruption models as well as describing the problems of implementation of such models in governmental establishments in Ukraine. Traditionally, corruption is the biggest problem for developing countries which is hard to fight. Fighting corruption in Ukraine has been presented in several comprehensive reviews. The reviews show us a list of concerns about serious changes in the field. Currently, there is an objective necessity to make more decisive steps to tackle corruption, which certainly is the important feature towards the improvement of the economic situation in the country. It should be noted that the implementation of anti-corruption models has been one of the most effective means of combating corruption for economically developed countries. In Ukraine, a course for implementing an anti-corruption model based on the creation of specialized anti-corruption bodies was chosen. However, there is the urgent need to mend a number of the legal and technical flaws of current legislation in order to guarantee the proper functioning of newly established state anti-corruption institutions.

There is new international attention being given to the old problem of corruption. It has been taken up by international organisations, and driven by economic analysis. It is impatient of cultural justifications, and suspicious of state action. It is concerned with corruption prevention as much as detection, investigation and prosecution. Corruption and Anti-Corruption deals with the international dimensions of corruption, including campaigns to recover the assets of former dictators, and the links between corruption, transnational and economic crime. It deals with corruption as an issue in political theory, and shows how it can be addressed in campaigns for human rights. It also presents case studies of reform efforts in Philippines, India and Thailand.

The book explains the doctrines of a well-established domestic anticorruption agency. It is based on research to develop a curriculum for a unique international training course on 'Corruption and Anti-Corruption', designed and taught by academics at The Australian National University, the Australian Institute of Criminology and public servants in the New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption. Versions have been taught in Canberra, and several countries in South East Asia.

SUMMARYThe discourse on anti‐corruption approaches during the last decade has been shaped by two extremes: those who prescribe specialized anti‐corruption bodies as a remedy in any context and those who consider general governance reform a prerequisite before a specialized anti‐corruption agency can function effectively. This article argues that the dichotomized discourse does not do reality justice and presents a "good enough" story from Indonesia. The Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi [KPK]) was established in a low‐governance environment and, although applying the three‐pronged Hong Kong strategy, bears considerable differences to the Independent Commission against Corruption Hong Kong's structure and powers. Despite not following the prescribed sequencing or models, the KPK has brought previously untouchable high‐profile perpetrators to jail, has recovered stolen assets, and enjoys a much higher degree of public trust and support than the other Indonesian law enforcement agencies. The Indonesian case demonstrates once more the importance of "local ownership" and public demand for sustainable change. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
