Controlling Corruption: A Parliamentarians Handbook

Controlling Corruption rests on the 1998 Laurentian Seminar participant’s assertion that the institution of parliament and parliamentarians are crucial in serving as a bridge between state and society and in implementing and/or strengthening the good governance values of accountability, transparency and participation (see Figure 1: The Ecology of Governance). It also claims that parliaments play a key and a leadership role in encouraginggood governance and, furthermore, that parliaments and parliamentarians need to work regionally and internationally in order to effect change.
