The 2003 edition of the Global Corruption Report focuses on the need for greater access to information in the struggle against corruption. It explores how civil society, the public and private sectors and the media use and control information to combat - or conceal - corruption. This year's Global Corruption Report includes: * expert reports and features on access to information * an assessment of the state of corruption around the world in 16 regional reports * detailed explorations of national corruption topics from a local perspective * a diverse selection of the latest corruption-related data and research * special contributions by renowned prosecutor Eva Joly and Interpol Secretary General Ron Noble
