Stratfor analysis about main causes of anti-corruption global phenomenon

An anti-corruption phenomenon which seems to increase at world level, on the background of economic decline, of domestic political competitions or under the influence of big foreign powers, which have their own geopolitical interests, comments Stratfor analysis agency, which also mentions Romania’s case.

In past years many scandals were revealed, anti-corruption campaigns launched, investigations initiated and leaders removed from power being accused of corruption.

In Romania, for instance, premier Victor Ponta can hardly preserve his position, while being tried for fiscal evasion and money laundering. The already fragile Moldova government risks to be removed any time by protests because of the disappearance of over 1 billion dollars from the banking system.

Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, uses all possible institutional levers to neutralize accusations of corruption formulated against him, his son and a group of former ministers, before coming Sunday elections.

The list could go on, but at global level a phenomenon meant to expose and destroy corruption seems to grow in a wide range of circumstances, Stratfor comments while wondering why.
