Building Local Integrity Systems in Southern Europe: the case of urban local corruption in Spain

Abstract: From 1997 to 2007, Spain suffered from major cases of political corruption associated with local urban development. To analyse their causes, this article examines the institutional mechanisms designed to monitor and control the performance of local policy-makers and to ensure they operated independently from private influence.

“…Today, there is a broad debate on political corruption and fiscal transparency (García-Quesada et al, 2013;Jiménez et al, 2014). Bellver and Kaufmann (2005) point to the dissemination of public information as the basis for groups and individuals to participate in decision making since formal competition would not be sufficient to deliver political responsiveness.…”

“…In the past decades, the scientific attention for (local) integrity systems has increased (Six & Lawton, 2010;Berndsen & Van Montfort, 2012;De Graaf, 2012;Huberts, 2012Huberts, , 2015Slingerland, Six, & Huberts, 2012;Quesada, Jimenez-Sanchez, & Villoria, 2013;De Graaf & Macaulay, 2014;Macaulay, Newman, & Hickey, 2014).

“…In recent years, the scientific literature has focused not only on integrity policy, but on the entire integrity system of an organization (Warburton & Baker, 2005;Huberts, Anechiarico, & Six, 2008;Six & Lawton, 2010;Six, Van der Veen, & Kruithof, 2012;Slingerland, Six, & Huberts, 2012;Quesada, Jimenez-Sanchez, & Villoria, 2013;De Graaf & Macaulay, 2014;Macaulay, Newman, & Hickey, 2014). An integrity system is more extensive than just an integrity policy (Six & Lawton, 2010).…”

“…En Autriche, les chercheurs se sont aussi intéressés à la problématique de l'institutionnalisation de l’éthique dans la gouvernance municipale (Hoekstra et Kaptein, 2013) de même qu’à l'impact que pouvaient avoir les scandales qui frappaient certaines municipalités sur le développement des dispositifs éthiques (Grimmelikhuijsen et Snijders, 2016). Des chercheurs espagnols ont également travaillé sur l'impact qu'ont eu les scandales sur le développement des infrastructures éthiques des gouvernements locaux (Benito et coll., 2015; Quesada et coll., 2015; Jiménez-Sanchez et coll., 2014; Garcia-Quesada et coll., 2013).…”
