The cost explosion of international corruption in recent years cannot be long tolerated by developing or industrial nations. This article explores suggestions regarding national strategies in the fight against corruption, made by Transparency International (TI), an NGO focused on investigating international dimensions of corruption & promoting reform. The ultimate aim of TI is to generate coalitions of reform-minded governments, private sectors, & civil societies to overturn the high-profit/low-risk relationship of corruption. Corruption can be divided into large, primarily military or investment oriented corruption, & small, need-oriented corruption supported by the weak economies of southern nations in particular. Reduction of the opportunities for bribery & minimization of the profit of such activities are key to anti-corruption reforms, & are aided by greater simplicity of transactions, additional transparency, & a free press, as well as a strong desire for change. While primarily oriented toward government administrations, citizens & business people must also be engaged. L. Kehl
