The institutionalisation of strategies to prevent corruption: the international and European model

Abstract

The contribution deals with the emerging strategies to fight corruption through prevention at the international level, in the respect of national sovereignity. It describes the request for a holistic strategy, combining prevention and prosecution, mobilizing all the components of the domestic community and establishing dedicated and independent competent bodies.
It questions whether it is possible to strengthen the system of corruption prevention by linking independent institutions to the National Constitution, European Union law, and customary law.
