We will be examining corruption and corruption reform. We will start by defining and explaining the concept. We will then discuss the many ways in which it is known to hinder countries. We will look at the history of corruption reform, spending some time on successful corruption reform programs in places like Hong Kong and Singapore. And then we will take a deeper look at more recent corruption reform, seeking to understand why some work and many others do not. I have always taught in a manner that seeks to maximize student engagement. I will use the annotation tool to allow learners to contribute directly on screen and we will also use the chat function. There is no prerequisite experience or knowledge -- curiosity is all you'll need!
