Abstract

The fight against corruption has been declared a high priority in India by the current National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has systematically shown his resolve to fight against corruption. However, in the case of India the foundational assertion is that corruption cannot be understood in silos. Any anticorruption steps need to be contextualized on the grounding of the “quality of governance” and the “patterns of corruption” in a particular country. Approaching corruption from both an institutional economic perspective and a governance perspective can deepen our understanding of the causes and patterns of corruption and the capacity, appetite, and success for reform. Therefore, rather than applying an incremental and disjointed approach, an intensively developed diagnostic tools, technical assistance, training programs, and lending instruments targeted toward reducing corruption in countries with ingrained corruption need to be espoused for its convincing achievement.
