Abstract
"The purpose of each NIS study is to assess the National Integrity System, in theory (laws and institutions) and practice (how well they work). The studies provide benchmarks for measuring further developments and a basis for comparison among a range of countries. The studies signal areas requiring priority action and also form the basis from which stakeholders may assess existing anti-corruption initiatives. NIS studies help explain, for example, which institutions or sectors, otherwise known as ‘pillars’ have been more successful and why, whether they are mutually supportive and what factors support or inhibit their effectiveness. The studies create a strong empirical basis that adds to our understanding of strong or weak performers. For Transparency International, National Integrity Studies are an important measurement tool. They complement TI’s global indices and surveys, such as the Corruption Perceptions Index, Bribe Payers Index and Global Corruption Barometer, as well as national surveys, by exploring the specific practices and constraints within countries and providing qualitative empirical results about the rules and practices that govern National Integrity Systems. More than 75 such studies had been completed as of late 2007. TI believes that it is necessary to understand the provision for and capacity of the integrity pillars, as well as their interaction and practices, to be able to diagnose corruption risks and develop strategies to counter those risks."
