This chapter used a lot of country cases to illustrate that the eradication of corrupt practices needs 1. political will, 2. legal framework, 3. educated and brave population, 4. free media, 5. enthusiastic ombudsmen and auditors general, 6. a national commission, 7. independent judiciary, 8. diligent prosecutors or attorneys. Although it seems impossible to fulfill the whole list of anti-corruption actions, countries like Singapore did manage to reduce corruption level radically. But for a lot of developing countries, corruption has been part of their economic system. Even though the author tells all these countries what to do, I feel these countries will either be reluctant to follow these guidelines, or only do the surface work.
