Abstract

This chapter focusses on the depiction of corruption as a human rights issue. In particular, it examines the recent addition of corruption to the ACRs. It explores the framing of corruption and delineates the emphasis of that issue for the so-called countries in transition. In doing so, an in-depth analysis of ACRs of the last sixteen years has been carried out. The argument is put forth that allying with the United States is not enough for having a favourable treatment in the corruption section of the reports. The depiction of corrupt countries is dependent on the respective size of their public sectors, along with the economic prosperity of each country. The size of the public sector, of course, has a clear ideological dimension with the (former) socialist countries mostly having larger sectors.
