Yolsuzlukla Mücadele: Dünya Bankası'nın Rolü

Özet: Küresel ekonomik entegrasyon, elektronik olarak şebekelenmiş uluslararası finansal sistem, ülke sınırları içerisinde ve ülkeler arasındaki stratejik ortaklıklar yolsuzluğu küresel bir olgu yapmıştır. Yolsuzlukların küresel boyutundan dolayı, Uluslararası Para Fonu (IMF), Birleşmiş Milletler (UN), Ekonomik işbirliği ve Kalkınma Teşkilatı (OECD), Avrupa Birliği (EU), Avrupa Konseyi (CU), Uluslararası Ticaret Odası (ICC), Dünya Ticaret Örgütü (WTO), Dünya Gümrükler Örgütü (WCO)ve Dünya Bankası (WB) gibi uluslararası kuruluşlar, yolsuzlukları kontrol etmek ve azaltmak için harekete geçmişlerdir. Bu makalenin amacı, Dünya Bankası'nın yolsuzluklarla mücadele politikalarını ve stratejilerini incelemektir. Dünya Bankası yolsuzlukları bir yönetim sorunu olarak ele almakta ve yolsuzluklar engellenmeden yoksulluğun azaltılamayacağını ileri sürmektedir.

The Fight Against Corruption: The Role of the World Bank

Global economic integration, electronically networked international financial system and strategic alliances both within countries and between countries have made corruption a global phenomenon. Due to its global scope, international organizations such as International Monetary Fund (IMF), United Nations (UN), The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), The European Union (EU), The Council of Europe (CU), International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), The World Trade Organization (WTO), World Customs Organization (WCO) and The World Bank (WB) have started international initiatives to control and reduce corruption. The aim of this article is to study, policies and strategies of the World Bank to combat corruption. The World Bank approaches the issue of corruption as a governance problem and argues that without first curbing corruption, it is impossible to reduce poverty.
