On July 20th 2017, the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) hosted a panel discussion on the impact of corruption on new democracies in Asia.
Systemic corruption impedes market development, drives away investment, and erodes the rule of law. Prevalent corruption can render a populace susceptible to demagogic political appeals, and de-legitimizes political leadership.
