Resumo
O movimento anticorrupção, surgido no início da década de 1990, e sempre em crescimento desde então, demonstrou ter importância considerável na forma como entendemos e explicamos as desigualdades globais, bem como na redefinição de corrupção como falta de transparência. Este trabalho analisa o ritmo e o conteúdo desse movimento. Seu argumento é que, após o colapso da União Soviética e o aprofundamento de um capitalismo cada vez mais transnacional, o discurso anticorrupção surgiu como uma nova versão do “fardo do homem branco”, uma justificativa para a intervenção em políticas internas de Estados mais fracos, assim como a explicação para sua relativa pobreza. Ao mesmo tempo, o movimento anticorrupção tem funcionado para pressionar os Estados no sentido de aumentar sua autonomia com relação aos interesses e frações dos capitais locais, a fim de tornar esses Estados mais subservientes e hospitaleiros ao capital transnacional como um todo.
