How are the countries covered in the Global Corruption Report chosen?
TI introduced country reports in the Global Corruption Report 2004. These reports offer a detailed look at key national corruption-related developments, as assessed by members of TI’s National Chapters as well as selected experts. The selection of countries is aimed at ensuring a regional balance as well as a diversity in economies and government systems. The result is a group of reports that vary in terms of topics and approach, reflecting the wealth of knowledge within TI’s worldwide movement. The Global Corruption Report does not attempt to discuss every country in the world. The fact that some countries are not analysed, or that some countries receive greater coverage than others, in no way reflects the state of corruption in those countries.
