Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) - Opis:
- Consolidated democracy as already well-established and, to our belief, predominantly endogenous setting, represents one of the influential arguments in favor of ensuring peace and stability in more developed countries, obviously perceived as such not only in economic or social sense. There is even much stronger evidence on the global scale to almost confirm that democratic states are not conducting war against each other as also quite popular liberal perspective suggests through the Democratic Peace Theory in the theory of international relations. Democratic transition or democratization processes taking place mainly in developing countries that can be seen through the lenses whether of organized Westernization, or of a mimicry in the same context (however both are conventionally referred as exogenous efforts), may provide less clear guarantees for safeguarding security within the considered societies and in their foreign policies. Nonetheless, democratizing trends are assessed in any case more positively than other tendencies, especially, apparently of antagonistic, i.e. non-democratic nature. Another question is how lasting and viable such positive results eventually would be, which seems to essentially depend on the success of democratization itself. The article addresses the issues concerning education on corruption, efficient anti-corruption strategies and integrity among one of the most significant segments of a society – students, youth and other social groups in Georgia and Kenya, as well as targets community integrity building (CIB) and social accountability activities in the respective countries from the point of view of more needs-oriented, and at the same time advanced, thus, greatly significant democratization components in the mentioned states, particularly important for the long-run efficiency perspectives. Therefore, in the paper there are analyzed success stories of implemented at the Georgian Technical University in 2015-2016 project entitled, “GTU Students’ Integrity Autumn Camp/School and CIB & Social Accountability Activities” on one hand, and on the other, “Improving Education in Kenya” project and other relevant initiatives being undertaken in the Sub-Saharan African country. These projects in both countries have been financed by the Integrity Action, the international non-governmental organization (INGO), based in the United Kingdom.
