title = {Can the issue of corruption be solved? An analysis of corruption in the Balkans and potential solutions},
year = {2020},
note = {This research paper analyses how countries in the western Balkans have
been affected by corruption and how, despite significant efforts,
corrupt practices continue to present barriers to their long-standing
goal of joining the European Union. Corruption has severely negative
impacts on economic growth and a country’s international reputation,
and so we infer that a different approach is required. Ten expert
interviews were conducted in an explorative research approach in order
to examine the concept of anti-bribery compliance incentives.
Interview partners were asked to address how anti-bribery incentives
could be employed by multinational corporations in order to eliminate
corruption. Subsequent discussion illustrates how our findings could
be combined with other measures towards eliminating corruption across
all sectors. The overall purpose of this research, and its
contribution, lies in exploring a new method of tackling corruption
and developing innovative theory to gain a more profound understanding
of the concept, its implications for the Balkans and how it could yet
be addressed more effectively.},
