Over the past decade, a growing body of research at the global and regional levels has demonstrated that parliamentary oversight is an important determinant of corruption and that effective oversight of public expenditure is an essential component of national anti-corruption strategies and programs. However, little research has been undertaken at the country level regarding how parliamentary oversight is undertaken, which oversight mechanisms are effective or on how national parliaments interact with other anti-corruption stakeholders. This book presents the results of a new large-scale, quantitative analysis which identifies the mechanisms through which institutional arrangements impact corruption, specifically through country case studies on the Caribbean region, Ghana, Myanmar, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda. Addressing a gap in scholarly knowledge while presenting practical policy advice for parliaments and for anti-corruption assistance agencies, this book will be of use to scholars interested in development, anti-corruption, public finance, as well as members of parliament, anti-corruption practitioners, and organizations working in parliamentary strengthening. 410 0$aStudies in Public Choice,$x0924-4700 ;$v34 606 $aPublic policy 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPolitical communication 606 $aPublic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060 606 $aGovernance and Government$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911220 606 $aPolitical Communication$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911030 615 0$aPublic policy. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aPolitical communication. 615 14$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 615 24$aPolitical Communication. 676 $a320.91724 702 $aStapenhurst$b Rick$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDraman$b Rasheed$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLarson$b Brooke$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aStaddon$b Anthony$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910369909703321 996 $aAnti-Corruption Evidence$92210767 997 $aUNINA
