financière, et donc ils ont des moyens de pression très précis. Or ces grandes sociétés multinationales, les gouvernements qui les soutiennent, voient généralement d’un mauvais œil les pratiques de corruption classique, traditionnelles, celles que dénonce Transparency International, qui consistent à glisser une enveloppe à un fonctionnaire pour obtenir quelque chose, parce que ça leur fait une concurrence qu’ils pourraient juger entre guillemets « déloyale » entre corrupteurs, eux ils préfèrent une forme de corruption beaucoup plus élaborée, beaucoup plus sophistiquée qui n’est accessible qu’aux grandes firmes qui ont les moyens de le faire. Et donc ce qu’ils voudraient, à travers des opérations comme Transparency International, c’est éliminer du marché de la corruption la petite corruption traditionnelle, qui dérange. Ce qui ne les empêche pas de la pratiquer à l’occasion, parce que eux aussi continuent d’utiliser les enveloppes et les pots de vin. D’ailleurs la plupart de ces enveloppes elles ne sont plus transmises de valise à valise, généralement on les retrouves sous une forme beaucoup plus abstraite, dans des comptes numérotés des paradis fiscaux. Or le réseau mondial des paradis fiscaux est principalement et massivement utilisé par toutes les grandes banques du monde », ce sont elles qui les tiennent. Ce ne sont pas le Burkina Fasso ni le Bangladesh, dont on sait très bien comment fonctionne le système , on comment fonctionne le circuit, et ce qui est intéressant dans ces opérations de type Transparency international, encore une fois c’est cet effet de rationalisation ce la corruption sous une autre forme plus élaborée, plus sophistiquée, et certainement beaucoup plus efficace.

d’activité, on ne peut obtenir de grand marché sans des pratiques de corruption. Ce n’est pas possible. Que ce soit dans les armes, dans le pétrole, dans les grands travaux publics, quel que soit le secteur, dans les chemins de fer, dans l’électricité, dans l’apurement des eaux, vous ne pouvez pas obtenir un grand marché, un métro, vous ne pouvez pas l’obtenir sans des pratiques de corruption. Qui varient d’un pays à l’autre, et les grandes firmes internationales, qui se battent à mort pour capter ces marchés, utilisent évidemment tous les moyens mis à leur disposition pour le faire. Et généralement elles utilisent bien au delà de la corruption classique, l’enveloppe ou le pot de vin de grand papa - qui continue d’exister- elles ont des moyens de pression beaucoup plus considérables et d’autant plus considérables qu’elles sont les ressortissantes d’Etats puissants.

transparente la corruption, c’est à dire de révéler au public qui sont les corrompus. Et plus particulièrement les Etats et les gouvernements corrompus. Donc, Transparency s’occupe essentiellement de la corruption d’Etat, la corruption publique, celle qui touche les fonctionnaires, les ministres, les hommes politiques. Et ils s’efforcent de faire ça à partir de sondages qui sont effectués dans chaque pays à travers des correspondants qui ont l’habitude de travailler dans ces pays et qui notent, qui procèdent à une notation de la corruption de chaque pays, à partir de cela on dresse une liste annuelle qu’on publie et qu’on renouvelle tous les ans. Et Transparency a des moyens considérables qui lui permettent de faire savoir et de faire connaître à l’ensemble de la presse et à l’ensemble des media les résultats de ses opérations.

services secrets, c’est un peu comme si on confiait au renard le soin de surveiller le poulailler en lui demandant de dénoncer systématiquement les souris qui iraient grignoter les grains de maïs des poules. C’est pas sérieux. Le résultat, c’est qu’on voit rarement apparaître les grands pays, les grandes puissances occidentales en tête des pays corrompus. Or si Transparency International faisait correctement son boulot, le numéro 1 des pays corrompus, tous les ans, serait systématiquement les Etats Unis, car c’est de loin le pays le plus corrupteur et le plus corrompus de la planète. Non pas parce que les Américains sont moins moraux ou plus immoraux que les autres, mais parce qu’ils ont les moyens de la corruption et qu’ils les utilisent systématiquement.

do so if that is required. I am not suggesting that either corporation funds TI USA because of their legal problems, which even if it were true is unlikely to have been stated on the record, and therefore made no such statement. All I am doing is referenceing those problems in an article which deals with an organisation which they help substantially fund and direct, and whose purpose is directly related to the issues referenced. The relevance must be obvious to all but those unwilling to see. Synthesis is only relevent where a conclusion is drawn. I draw no conclusion but repeat that relevance is clear.--

disputed). To ignore that an organisation whose stated objects is to fight curruption is in partly, but significantly, funded (at least in the USA) by organisations which have their own legal troubles in that direction is in my mind at least as biased as mentioning it. The references mention other sources of funding other than the those with criminal connections, though it is clear that funding in the USA is mainly corporate. The irony, if it exists, is in mind of the reader, not in the written text. Unless someone submits a rewrite rather than a deletion I will reinstate in the next day or so.--

dans le monde, la décrypter, l’utiliser. Et on sait très bien que l’un des clients de la NSA c’est pas seulement le Pentagone, ce sont aussi les entreprises américaines à qui l’on peut fournir des informations sur le comportement de certains gouvernements, sur les marchés en perspective, sur les exigences de ces marchés, et donc en fournissant ces informations on donne à ces entreprises les moyens d’agir auprès des gouvernements pour obtenir ces marchés.

31: 386:), he explains that TI is precisely funded by the biggest corrupter in the world, from Enron to Elf or Lookheed. In 2003, the year of the Enron scandal, T.I America was still proud to present Enron as official funder.

information pertinent to contextualizing the scoring of companies and facilitate qualitative comparisons in the final report. Ten companies took the opportunity to review their data. PDVSA did not. The company also never responded to any of the letters, faxes or e-mails sent at each stage of the process, spanning the period from 2006 to 2007.

1283:

The attempt to remove the section on funding seems to be another (amongst many well documented above) attempt by apologists for TI to cover up any information that they regard as detrimental to the organisation. It is the function of an editor to bring together relevent facts (none of which have been

817:. TI welcomes that PDVSA has published audited financial statements for 2006 in September 2007 and for 2007, in May 2008 on its website. PDVSA is welcome to review its data with TI at any time and as with other companies involved, TI will work with them to strengthen transparency and anti-corruption. 567:

If the corruption index worked as a self-fulfilling prophecy, this would mean that it influenced corrption; not that it influenced future corruption indexes. Because the corruption index says nothing about corruption indexes, it cannot be a prophecy (self-fulfilling or not) about these indexes. Also,

The nature of writing a Knowledge article is that it requires a willingness to be involved in a give and take. If you don't have time (or inclination) for that give and take, which I can perfectly well understand, I suggest that instead of making big edits to the article, you place your material here

I am unclear where the idea that the legal problems of Boeing and Pfizer are "accusations" comes from.

In the Funding section, as of Dec 31 2009 (happy new year!), the article only mentions how corrupt the corporate sponsors are, and implies that the organization itself is corrupt because of these corporate sponsors.

Looking at content and structure of the entry on Transparency International, I would like to make a couple of comments.

The German chapter of Transparency International is in the middle of a self-inflicted publicity disaster this weekend. A lawyer representing Transparency International - Deutschland e.V has threatened to sue the ass of a young German blogger unless she removes a blog post of hers by Sunday midnight.

1046:

This reaction of the German blogosphere aroused media interest. After the blogger got some help from a German lawyer (who was also a blogger), TI Germany and the blogger came to an agreement. TI Germany never published a conclusive comment on this (a press release making some details on the monthly

In March 2006, TI Germany attempted to ban an article from a German blog. In this article the blogger expressed her disapproval about a friend’s dismissal who used to work at TI Germany, stating accusations that TI viewed as being false. This led some German bloggers to protest against TI’s alleged

Il est évident qu’un pays comme les Etats-Unis, qui a les moyens d’accéder à toute information, qui a un système universel de surveillance de toute la planète, qui est sous l’autorité d’un service secret américain qui s’appelle NSA, National Security Agency, peut capter n’importe quelle information

Alors bon, très simplement, c’est une supercherie.

Having worked for an anti-corruption organization (not TI) that reported negatively on Venezuela, I can say that backlash was immediate and well-organized. I see hints of that here. For one: local TI chapters get no financial support from the Secretatiat in Berlin, so that Exxon funding is almost

On vit dans un monde où la concurrence internationale, le marché, est de plus en plus mondialisé, la concurrence que se livrent les grandes entreprises pour capter des marchés est de plus en plus féroce. Il faut savoir qu’à l’échelon mondial, à l’échelon international, quel que soit le secteur

An anon turned "addressing corruption" into "addressing corruption and incorporated governance". This makes no sense to me, and I suspect will make little sense to anyone else. A Google search on "incorporated governance" turns up mostly coincidences like "IDA has incorporated governance

However the TI USA Chapter has never commented within its publications on any corruption case within the USA, and has taken money from the Boeing Corporation, whose executive Darleen A. Druyun was imprisoned for corrupt activities, leading to the resignation of Boeing CEO Phil Condit.

357:

The linked article really doesn't say much about TI, though. It says, in effect, international business is hopelessly evil and that TI is merely trying to report on governments that try to skim a percentage, hence serving the interests of hopelessly evil international business. --

522:

Since then, Enron is no more TI America funder. But others still are. As says Christian De Brie : asking an NGO funded by the most corrupted companies through the world to fight corruption, it's just like asking the fox to denounce the mices stealing corn from a an henhouse.

We don't have a "central secretariat" we are not a centralized organizacion, we are a network with an International Secretariat (central v.s. international means a complete different approach to our work, pretty horizontal).

editorials frequently appear on www.venezuelananlysis.com, a wildly pro Chavez website. Nearly as much space is given to this person's allegations as the section describing Transparency International. Is this appropriate?

When questioned about the apparently biased report, TI initially claimed that information was not available at the time of publication—a claim which was also false—and then refused to answer further questions about the

Neither Calvin Tucker, nor Stephen Lendman are authoritative sources on anything related to Venezuela. Venezuelanalysis.com is not a trustworthy source, but a propaganda site funded by the government of Hugo Chavez.

I would say this article needs a great deal of improvement. While it's perfectly legitimate to discuss criticism, this articles seems to be almost exclusively about TI's bad press. The German version of this article

I think it would be far more profitable to talk in this space about many other aspects of our organisation (and of corruption) rather than only the "descriptive" part of it. Maybe we can put some more juice in here.
