Abstract

Anti-corruption norms and measures are rarely examined in developing country contexts, despite that these contexts often suffer of corruption and political turmoil. This chapter explores how the World Bank in tandem with Transparency International developed the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) in Tunisia, before and after the Jasmine Revolution of 2011. The chapter identifies several flaws in the CPI and shows how the CPI did not adequately reflect the realities of the Tunisian people. The chapter concludes by arguing that a localized approach to anti-corruption measures is useful because it can improve the contextualization of proposed measures, making these fit for purpose and ensure diversity, civic capacity, and social cohesion.
