Abstract

ABSTRACT Transparency laws, such as the Right to Information (RTI) in India and Open Government Information (OGI) in China, seek to confront corruption. They have been able to expand people’s space against corruption and other abuses of power, thus demanding accountability from the powerholders. Instead of particular regimes like democratic or authoritarian, we employ the Quality of Government (QoG) as a context to understand corruption control in India and China. Yet, due to various socio-political limitations, QoG remains inadequate in India; and uneven in China: these cripple the promises of transparency laws. Hence, it is necessary that India prioritizes human development, which shall require better QoG and China addresses its weaker areas in QoG.
