IPMN is pleased to provide the call for paper for the 2012 conference to be held 27-29 June, 2012 in Honolulu, Hawaii, in partnership with the East West Center

Conference topic theme: Innovations in Public Management for Combating Corruption

The effort to combat corruption has moved to the center of the debate about improving governance, economic growth and poverty reduction. The impetus behind this move has come from many sources. Increasing flows of aid and foreign investment have increased the temptations for gatekeepers. Donor country fatigue has placed increasing pressure upon foreign assistance agencies to demonstrate that they are delivering maximum value for the money. The negative example of a handful of “kleptocratic” regimes in the Middle East and other regions has underscored the danger of political and social collapse if widespread corruption is allowed to fester unchecked.
