The Transparency International (TI) Global Corruption Barometer 2004
is a public opinion survey that was carried out in 64 countries among
more than 50,000 people to assess perceptions about corruption, experience
of corruption, and expectations concerning corruption levels in the
future.1 It
compares petty and grand corruption (and compares corruption with other
problems in society), evaluates the extent to which public and private
institutions are considered corrupt, determines where the public believes
corruptions impact is greatest, and asks about bribery and prospects
for future levels of corruption.
TI believes it is important to assess what the public thinks about corruption,
since public support for anti-corruption efforts and for the
leaders and institutions that espouse them is critical to their
success. By asking the general public their views, the Global Corruption
Barometer is a unique
measure of the impact of anti-corruption efforts at country level, which,
when combined, reflect global public opinion on corruption and its significance
for peoples lives. Transparency International maintains the view
that public opinion on, and experience of, corruption is a crucial indicator
of the extent to which corruption is successfully being fought around
the world.
The TI Global Corruption Barometer complements TIs other main
global indicators on corruption, the Corruption Perceptions Index and
the Bribe Payers Index, by polling public, rather than expert, opinion
on corruption. The Global Corruption Barometer can be used to raise
awareness of the extent and impact of corruption, as judged by the general
public. Its question targeted at levels of corruption in institutions/sectors,
for instance, can point to those areas with poor reputations that may
be ripe for reform.
TI, who commissioned the Global Corruption Barometer from Gallup International,
first ran the Global Corruption Barometer in 2003. Country coverage
was expanded considerably in 2004, from 48 to 64 countries, and TI will
continue to increase the number of countries polled for the Barometer.
Over time, TI expects the survey to convey important trends in the way
the publics around the world regard corruption in their countries.
