Where Are the Global Anti-Corruption Leaders?

Obviously, the world’s second oldest profession–bribing or extorting for money and power–is deeply entrenched and will require different strategies appropriate to different contexts. But, without a global public leader, the U.S. Secretary of State, or the head of the World Bank, to give the issue dramatic voice and make it a broader movement, the all too familiar stories of BEA and Siemens, and of bribery and extortion by local interests in the developing world, will, continue to repeat themselves as they have in years past ,despite anti-corruption rhetoric and earnest communiqués.
