| Summary, etc. |
With a view to establishing the likelihood of the occurrence of state capture and different forms of corruption and the feasibility of their management and prevention, important aspects of the historical, social, economic, political and governance context of Timor-Leste are examined. This context is found to be conducive to various forms of state capture and systematic grand and petty corruption, and to be resistant to conventional short-term technocratic anticorruption remedies. While the latter are likely to have public relations benefits that may be helpful to the maintenance of political stability in the short run, it is argued that significant anticorruption progress is a long-term endeavour, achievable principally through: sustained impartial service delivery that undermines beliefs in patronage; hastening - through general education and the creation of a conducive legal environment for business - the emergence of leaders of integrity and the growth of a middle class; and the establishment of the rule of law. - Reproduced. |
