“…Ces cadres d'intégrité doivent, selon l'institution internationale, reposer sur une pluralité d'interventions (prévention, promotion, coordination) et une mise en commun et un développement complémentaire des ressources existantes dans l'organisation publique (instruments, processus et structures). Ces cadres d'intégrité confirment la nécessité de dépasser la logique de l'infrastructure de l’éthique, développée par le groupe PUMA de cette institution parisienne (OCDE, 1997) à la fin des années 1990 et par Pope à la même époque (Pope, 2000), afin de multiplier les stratégies d'intervention.…”

RésuméCe texte présente les résultats d'une analyse thématique faite à partir des matériaux obtenus lors d'une recherche empirique exploratoire portant sur les risques éthiques dans le domaine municipal. Pour ce faire, nous avons réalisé un diagnostic des risques éthiques dans une municipalité canadienne ayant connu une crise importante au niveau de l'intégrité. La recherche empirique s'est faite de novembre 2015 à mars 2016, à partir d'entrevues semi-dirigées avec des acteurs dits stratégiques et des groupes de discussion avec des acteurs dits opérationnels.Notre recherche s'inscrit dans l'esprit d'un « retour d'expérience » (Wybo et Wassenhove, 2009). Ainsi, l'objectif de ce type recherche est de produire, via un travail de réflexivité collective, un bassin de connaissances pratiques pouvant permettre de mieux comprendre les risques éthiques présents dans un environnement particulier et de cibler les stratégies d'atténuation de ces risques.Pour faire notre analyse, nous avons croisé les résultats de notre enquête sur deux axes d'analyse : l'analyse des risques sous l'angle des trois indicateurs de notre cadre (conduites à risque, facteurs de risque et stratégies d'atténuation) et l'analyse transactionnelle par les parties prenantes. Nous présenterons les résultats de façon synthétique afin de faire ressortir la transversalité des données et leur rattachement à des situations transactionnelles particulières. Dans la section discussion, nous mettrons l'accent sur les stratégies d'atténuation des risques éthiques proposées par nos répondants afin de faire ressortir la grande différence de ces résultats par opposition aux propositions traditionnelles des experts institutionnels qui se sont penchés sur l’éthique du service public.

“…The effects of introducing checks and balances have long been analysed in the regulatory and the law and economics literature, which have focused on how monitoring and sanctions influence actors’ behaviour (Ayres and Braithwaite, 1992; Kagan, 1994; North, 1990). Taking actors as boundedly rational decision-makers, it has been argued that appropriate checks and balances are a requirement to ensure that actors meet their obligations.…”

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. It also analyses their actual effectiveness with reference to particular cases of local corruption unveiled during that decade. The Spanish case shows that local representatives had a large amount of power in distributing financial gains within the municipality, but faced little pressure to account for their actions. It argues that insufficient control mechanisms on the activities of local representatives from 1997 to 2007 can adequately explain the intensity and spread of local corruption in Spain. Points for practitioners The article contributes to a better understanding of the factors and the causes that explain local corruption, particularly in countries where local governments fit with the ‘strong-mayor’ type. Following the Local Integrity System framework, it provides a strategy to analyse the role and impact of control mechanisms, distinguishing between internal and external controls, and administrative and judicial controls. The article also helps to understand, and presents evidence of, the mismatch between ‘formal’ institutional mechanisms on the one hand, and their actual implementation and effects on the other.

Source: [23] a result, an 'integrity system' came to be understood as meaning 'the practical effortbased on theoretical insights -to combine law enforcement and motivation in an integrated system of rules, values, guidelines and socialization mechanisms', based on 'an understanding of relevant values, of corruption-curbing institutions, of the nature of situations in which corruption is likely to emerge, and of the way in which these three elements interact with each other' ( [27]: 266). More recently, the challenge has become not only how to understand integrity systems, but how to test their performance empirically [28,42].…”

“…Transparency International's inaugural director Jeremy Pope responded that a diversity of holistic, well-embedded reforms was likely to be more important than symbolic one-off responses such as a single new anti-corruption law or agency ( [22][23][24]; see also [25,26]). Hence the approach sought to be comprehensive from the outset, presenting a picture of anti-corruption systems as relying on a wide range of institutions and actors (so-called Bpillars^), all of whose individual strengths, weaknesses and interactions had to be considered, and which were captured in the graphic metaphor of a Greek temple (Fig.…”

Tackling corruption has proven to be one of the most intractable policy problems for governments and civil society worldwide. From the past 20 years, it is clear that there are few classes of crime which are so capable of diverting resources and perverting policy on grand and petty scales, yet so intrinsically linked with larger political and economic forces, intertwined with the self-interests of influential social actors, and so interwoven with other social behaviours, both positive and negative. As a consequence, there are few crime problems for which solutions are so systemic and elusive, at the same time.However, while a rich literature continues to develop on how corruption problems are best diagnosed and measured, 1 far less expert attention has been devoted to how best to evaluate the presumed answers to corruption. In particular, only limited attention has been placed on how to evaluate the policy systems, institutions and processes aimed at bolstering corruption's antithesis -integrity in the discharge of office, performance of institutions and exercise of public or other entrusted power. This is notwithstanding the obvious importance of understanding why so many anticorruption efforts seem ineffective, and of identifying what makes for relative success. Overall, anti-corruption research has given much less focus to the origins of 'high-
