Abstract

Good Governance standards have been filled with some value in various international instruments. Originally viewed as a process of decision-making or means to achieve certain political goals, the Good Governance has turned into set of mandatory reform measures at the public and corporate level. The opinion on the role and impact of these standards in the context of the fight against corruption differ significantly according to opposing academic views. The standards in this area have been applied effectively in the course of the EU Integration and Council of Europe’s evaluations. In practical terms, these standards have been ‘translated’ into specific measures, supported by the strong conviction that proper administration of these standards would produce positive effect in the fight against corruption. The internationally credited indicators show that countries with the adequate Good Governance structure in place are champions of controlling corruption. The underperformers in Good Governance also perform poorly in curbing corruption. However, qualitative analysis shows that the countries may put in place costly transparency and accountability mechanism and still fail in the fight against corruption. The research reveals no strong link between the application of the Good Governance standards and reaching a successful result in the fight against corruption. Perhaps only proper environment and support by additional necessary measures could produce the required effect. Otherwise, this Good Governance reforms in the country, especially prosecution service, may turn into formalistic exercise yielding extreme forms of corruption.
