Smokescreens and Pipe Dreams: Examining Anti-Corruption Measures in the Eastern Caribbean

This chapter develops a Caribbean epistemological analysis of regional political corruption with a focus on the effectiveness of good governance agendas, associated with corruption control. In juxtaposing analysis and critique of universalist corruption control measurement tools and data with path dependence theory, and then by presenting an overview and critique of anti-corruption legislation, it supports the previous chapter’s conclusion and further develops the conceptual framework which informs the case studies chapters.
