題名 Can Corruption Be Measured? Comparing Global Versus Local Perceptions of Corruption in East and Southeast Asia 作者 Lin, Min-Wei;Yu, C. 貢獻者 公行系 關鍵詞 corruption; East Asia; global; local; measurement; perceptions; Southeast Asia 日期 2014-03 上傳時間 11-Jun-2015 12:04:47 (UTC+8) 摘要 Since Transparency International first released its annual Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) in 1995, the CPI has quickly become the best known corruption indicator worldwide. The CPI has been widely credited with making comparative and large-N studies of corruption possible, as well as putting the issue of corruption squarely in the international policy agenda. Despite its enormous influence on both academic and policy fronts, the CPI is not without critics. One often noted critique is that the CPI relies solely on surveys of foreign business people and the expert assessments of cross-national analysts; as such, the CPI mainly reflects international experts` perceptions, not the perceptions of each country`s citizens. This study examines the above critique in closer detail. Data from the Asian Barometer Survey is employed to analyze whether international experts` corruption perceptions were similar to those of domestic citizens. The Asian Barometer Survey is a public opinion survey on issues related to political values, democracy, and public reform in 13 different areas around East and Southeast Asia (Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam). Data analysis indicates that global and local perspectives are only moderately aligned in the 13 areas studied. International experts and domestic citizens differ, to varying degrees, in their evaluation of the extent of public sector corruption in several areas, suggesting the presence of a corruption perception gap. Four implications about the existence of this gap can be drawn for future corruption measurement. © 2014 © 2014 The Editor, Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis: Research and Practice. 關聯 Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis: Research and Practice, 16(2), 140-157 資料類型 article DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13876988.2013.870115 dc.contributor 公行系 dc.creator (作者) Lin, Min-Wei;Yu, C. dc.date (日期) 2014-03 dc.date.accessioned 11-Jun-2015 12:04:47 (UTC+8) - dc.date.available 11-Jun-2015 12:04:47 (UTC+8) - dc.date.issued (上傳時間) 11-Jun-2015 12:04:47 (UTC+8) - dc.identifier.uri (URI) http://nccur.lib.nccu.edu.tw/handle/140.119/75660 - dc.description.abstract (摘要) Since Transparency International first released its annual Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) in 1995, the CPI has quickly become the best known corruption indicator worldwide.
