Summary

Political corruption in the Caribbean Basin retards state economic growth and development, undermines government legitimacy, and threatens state security. In spite of recent anti-corruption efforts of intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations (IGO/NGOs), Caribbean political corruption problems appear to be worsening in the post-Cold War period. This work discovers why IGO/NGO efforts to arrest corruption are failing by investing the domestic and international causes of political corruption in the Caribbean. The study's theoretical framework centers on an interdisciplinary model pf political corruption built within the rule-oriented constructivist approach to social science. The analysis first employs a rational choice analysis that broadly explain differing levels of state corruption. The constructivist theory of social rules is then employed to establish the political, economic, and social structural factors that affect varying levels of political corruption.
