MAPI Report Examines Measures to Address Indian Corruption

Since the turn of the century, India has been recognized as one of the world’s foremost emerging economies.  Touted as a future economic powerhouse, the nation has become a leader in attracting foreign direct investment and is considered poised for continued economic prosperity. One lingering threat to this promising potential, however, is corruption. 

 A new Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation (MAPI) report, India’s Anti-Corruption Crossroads (LAR-508) covers the history of corruption in India and examines the pending measures designed to combat it as well as the forces behind such strategies.  Interestingly, the impetus of the current anti-corruption drive is being provided by ordinary citizens who are forcing the establishment to act on measures that the political class has been obstructing for more than four decades.  India just may be on the cusp of achieving a momentous victory or ordinary people over entrenched political interest.
