Passage: A kickback is an official's share of misappropriated funds allocated from his or her organization to an organization involved in corrupt bidding. For example, suppose that a politician is in charge of choosing how to spend some public funds. He can give a contract to a company that is not the best bidder, or allocate more than they deserve. In this case, the company benefits, and in exchange for betraying the public, the official receives a kickback payment, which is a portion of the sum the company received. This sum itself may be all or a portion of the difference between the actual (inflated) payment to the company and the (lower) market-based price that would have been paid had the bidding been competitive.

Question: What is the public official's share called when involved in corrupt bidding?

Question: A contract can be given to someone who is not the best what?
Passage: Kickbacks are not limited to government officials; any situation in which people are entrusted to spend funds that do not belong to them are susceptible to this kind of corruption.

Question: What is not limited to just government officials?
Passage: An unholy alliance is a coalition among seemingly antagonistic groups for ad hoc or hidden gain, generally some influential non-governmental group forming ties with political parties, supplying funding in exchange for the favorable treatment. Like patronage, unholy alliances are not necessarily illegal, but unlike patronage, by its deceptive nature and often great financial resources, an unholy alliance can be much more dangerous to the public interest. An early use of the term was by former US President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt:

Question: When groups that are antagonistic to each other form a coalition for hidden gain, it is called what?

Question: While not illegal, an unholy alliance can be more dangerous to the public than what?
Passage: An illustrative example of official involvement in organized crime can be found from 1920s and 1930s Shanghai, where Huang Jinrong was a police chief in the French concession, while simultaneously being a gang boss and co-operating with Du Yuesheng, the local gang ringleader. The relationship kept the flow of profits from the gang's gambling dens, prostitution, and protection rackets undisturbed.[citation needed]

Question: When was Jinrong a police chief in this area?

Question: Who was a local gang ringleader in the same area?

Question: In addition to being a police chief, Jinrong was also what?
Passage: The United States accused Manuel Noriega's government in Panama of being a "narcokleptocracy", a corrupt government profiting on illegal drug trade. Later the U.S. invaded Panama and captured Noriega.

Question: What was Noriega's government accused of being?

Question: What country did Noriega rule?

Question: What country invaded Panama to capture Noriega?

Question: What is a narcokleptocracy?

Question: What is Noriega's first name?
Passage: Thomas Jefferson observed a tendency for "The functionaries of every government ... to command at will the liberty and property of their constituents. There is no safe deposit [for liberty and property] ... without information. Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe."

Question: According to Thomas Jefferson, when the media is free and people are literate they are what?
Passage: Recent research supports Jefferson's claim. Brunetti and Weder found "evidence of a significant relationship between more press freedom and less corruption in a large cross-section of countries." They also presented "evidence which suggests that the direction of causation runs from higher press freedom to lower corruption." Adserà, Boix, and Payne found that increases in newspaper readership led to increased political accountability and lower corruption in data from roughly 100 countries and from different states in the US.

Question: Who found evidence that where the media had freedom there was less political corruption?

Question: Who discovered that more people reading newspapers resulted in higher political accountability?

Question: About 100 countries and what else was information gathered from to show that more people reading newspapers had higher political accountability?
Passage: Snyder and Strömberg found "that a poor fit between newspaper markets and political districts reduces press coverage of politics. ... Congressmen who are less covered by the local press work less for their constituencies: they are less likely to stand witness before congressional hearings ... . Federal spending is lower in areas where there is less press coverage of the local members of congress." Schulhofer-Wohl and Garrido found that the year after the Cincinnati Post closed in 2007, "fewer candidates ran for municipal office in the Kentucky suburbs most reliant on the Post, incumbents became more likely to win reelection, and voter turnout and campaign spending fell.

Question: Who discovered the correlation that congressman who have less local press coverage work less for the people who elected them?

Question: What newspaper stopped publishing in 2007?

Question: Who was most likely to get reelected after the Post shut down?

Question: Campaign spending and what fell after the Post stopped publishing?
Passage: An analysis of the evolution of mass media in the US and Europe since World War II noted mixed results from the growth of the Internet: "The digital revolution has been good for freedom of expression [and] information [but] has had mixed effects on freedom of the press": It has disrupted traditional sources of funding, and new forms of Internet journalism have replaced only a tiny fraction of what's been lost.

Question: What did the analysis show mixed results for?

Question: What was disrupted by Internet growth for the press?

Question: How much has new types of Internet journalism replaced what has been lost in the press?
Passage: Transparency International, an anti-corruption NGO, pioneered this field with the CPI, first released in 1995. This work is often credited with breaking a taboo and forcing the issue of corruption into high level development policy discourse. Transparency International currently publishes three measures, updated annually: a CPI (based on aggregating third-party polling of public perceptions of how corrupt different countries are); a Global Corruption Barometer (based on a survey of general public attitudes toward and experience of corruption); and a Bribe Payers Index, looking at the willingness of foreign firms to pay bribes. The Corruption Perceptions Index is the best known of these metrics, though it has drawn much criticism and may be declining in influence. In 2013 Transparency International published a report on the "Government Defence Anti-corruption Index". This index evaluates the risk of corruption in countries' military sector.

Question: How many measures does Transparency International publish right now?

Question: What is the measure that Transparency International publishes that looks at the willingness of a foreign company to pay a bribe?

Question: What is the measure that it publishes that involves polling to determine the public's take on how corrupt various countries are?

Question: When was the CPI first released?

Question: Which index studies the correlation of corruption and military in a country?
Passage: The World Bank collects a range of data on corruption, including survey responses from over 100,000 firms worldwide and a set of indicators of governance and institutional quality. Moreover, one of the six dimensions of governance measured by the Worldwide Governance Indicators is Control of Corruption, which is defined as "the extent to which power is exercised for private gain, including both petty and grand forms of corruption, as well as 'capture' of the state by elites and private interests." While the definition itself is fairly precise, the data aggregated into the Worldwide Governance Indicators is based on any available polling: questions range from "is corruption a serious problem?" to measures of public access to information, and not consistent across countries. Despite these weaknesses, the global coverage of these datasets has led to their widespread adoption, most notably by the Millennium Challenge Corporation.

Question: How many firms throughout the world have been surveyed by the World Bank in regards to its corruption study?

Question: How many dimensions of governance are measured by the Worldwide Governance Indicators?

Question: One of the dimensions is the extent to which power is exercised for personal gain, which is called what?

Question: Which organization is most notable for adopting the global coverage of these studies?
Passage: A number of parties have collected survey data, from the public and from experts, to try and gauge the level of corruption and bribery, as well as its impact on political and economic outcomes. A second wave of corruption metrics has been created by Global Integrity, the International Budget Partnership, and many lesser known local groups. These metrics include the Global Integrity Index, first published in 2004. These second wave projects aim to create policy change by identifying resources more effectively and creating checklists toward incremental reform. Global Integrity and the International Budget Partnership each dispense with public surveys and instead uses in-country experts to evaluate "the opposite of corruption" – which Global Integrity defines as the public policies that prevent, discourage, or expose corruption. These approaches compliment the first wave, awareness-raising tools by giving governments facing public outcry a checklist which measures concrete steps toward improved governance.

Question: A second set of corruption metrics has been compiled by Global Integrity and what other organization?

Question: When was the Global Integrity Index first published?

Question: Both companies no longer use what means of collecting of data?

Question: Instead of public surveys, the organizations use what to study corruption?
Passage: Typical second wave corruption metrics do not offer the worldwide coverage found in first wave projects, and instead focus on localizing information gathered to specific problems and creating deep, "unpackable"[clarification needed] content that matches quantitative and qualitative data.

Question: The second wave of metrics focuses on what level of corruption?

Question: Unlike the first wave, the second wave does not offer what type of coverage?
Passage: Alternative approaches, such as the British aid agency's Drivers of Change research, skips numbers and promotes understanding corruption via political economy analysis of who controls power in a given society.

Question: What is the British aid agency's research called?

Question: What does Drivers of Change skip?

Question: What does Drivers of Change promote?
Passage: Extensive and diverse public spending is, in itself, inherently at risk of cronyism, kickbacks, and embezzlement. Complicated regulations and arbitrary, unsupervised official conduct exacerbate the problem. This is one argument for privatization and deregulation. Opponents of privatization see the argument as ideological. The argument that corruption necessarily follows from the opportunity is weakened by the existence of countries with low to non-existent corruption but large public sectors, like the Nordic countries. These countries score high on the Ease of Doing Business Index, due to good and often simple regulations, and have rule of law firmly established. Therefore, due to their lack of corruption in the first place, they can run large public sectors without inducing political corruption. Recent evidence that takes both the size of expenditures and regulatory complexity into account has found that high-income democracies with more expansive state sectors do indeed have higher levels of corruption.

Question: Public spending has risks of kickbacks, embezzlement and what?

Question: What type of regulations make corruption worse for public spending?

Question: The potential for corruption in public spending are one of the arguments that favor what?

Question: What countries have big public sectors but low corruption?

Question: What do the low corruption countries have solidly established?
Passage: Like other governmental economic activities, also privatization, such as in the sale of government-owned property, is particularly at the risk of cronyism. Privatizations in Russia, Latin America, and East Germany were accompanied by large-scale corruption during the sale of the state owned companies. Those with political connections unfairly gained large wealth, which has discredited privatization in these regions. While media have reported widely the grand corruption that accompanied the sales, studies have argued that in addition to increased operating efficiency, daily petty corruption is, or would be, larger without privatization, and that corruption is more prevalent in non-privatized sectors. Furthermore, there is evidence to suggest that extralegal and unofficial activities are more prevalent in countries that privatized less.

Question: Selling government property is highly at risk for what?

Question: What type of people got wealthy from the sale of state-owned companies?

Question: Where is corruption even more prevalent?

Question: Countries that what have more extralegal and unofficial things going on?
Passage: In the European Union, the principle of subsidiarity is applied: a government service should be provided by the lowest, most local authority that can competently provide it. An effect is that distribution of funds into multiple instances discourages embezzlement, because even small sums missing will be noticed. In contrast, in a centralized authority, even minute proportions of public funds can be large sums of money.

Question: Providing a government service from the lowest form of local government that can adequately provide the service is called what?

Question: What does distributing money into multiple instances discourage?

Question: Even small amounts of public money can be a lot in what type of authority?
Passage: If the highest echelons of the governments also take advantage from corruption or embezzlement from the state's treasury, it is sometimes referred with the neologism kleptocracy. Members of the government can take advantage of the natural resources (e.g., diamonds and oil in a few prominent cases) or state-owned productive industries. A number of corrupt governments have enriched themselves via foreign aid, which is often spent on showy buildings and armaments.

Question: What is it called when higher ups in government embezzle from the government's treasury?

Question: What examples of natural resources do some corrupt officials in government take?

Question: Some corrupt governments use what type of money coming in?

Question: Foreign aid money is sometimes used to build fancy structures and to buy what?
Passage: A corrupt dictatorship typically results in many years of general hardship and suffering for the vast majority of citizens as civil society and the rule of law disintegrate. In addition, corrupt dictators routinely ignore economic and social problems in their quest to amass ever more wealth and power.

Question: In their pursuit of more money and power, corrupt dictators often ignore what?
Passage: The classic case of a corrupt, exploitive dictator often given is the regime of Marshal Mobutu Sese Seko, who ruled the Democratic Republic of the Congo (which he renamed Zaire) from 1965 to 1997. It is said that usage of the term kleptocracy gained popularity largely in response to a need to accurately describe Mobutu's regime. Another classic case is Nigeria, especially under the rule of General Sani Abacha who was de facto president of Nigeria from 1993 until his death in 1998. He is reputed to have stolen some US$3–4 billion. He and his relatives are often mentioned in Nigerian 419 letter scams claiming to offer vast fortunes for "help" in laundering his stolen "fortunes", which in reality turn out not to exist. More than $400 billion was stolen from the treasury by Nigeria's leaders between 1960 and 1999.

Question: Who was the dictator in Zaire from 1965 to 1997?

Question: What did Zaire used to be known as?

Question: What term became more popular as Mobutu ruled?

Question: Who ruled Nigeria until he died in 1998?
Passage: More recently, articles in various financial periodicals, most notably Forbes magazine, have pointed to Fidel Castro, General Secretary of the Republic of Cuba since 1959, of likely being the beneficiary of up to $900 million, based on "his control" of state-owned companies. Opponents of his regime claim that he has used money amassed through weapons sales, narcotics, international loans, and confiscation of private property to enrich himself and his political cronies who hold his dictatorship together, and that the $900 million published by Forbes is merely a portion of his assets, although that needs to be proven.

Question: What magazine had articles about Castro benefiting from corruption?

Question: The $900 million Forbes said Castro took may only be what of his total assets?

Question: What is Fidel Castro's official title?
Passage: Further conventions were adopted at the regional level under the aegis of the Organization of American States (OAS or OEA), the African Union, and in 2003, at the universal level under that of the United Nations Convention against Corruption.

Question: What is OAS?

Question: Additional conventions were adopted at the regional level by OAS and who?

Question: What organization joined at the universal level?

Question: When did the United Nations Convention against Corruption join?
Passage: Measuring corruption statistically is difficult if not impossible due to the illicit nature of the transaction and imprecise definitions of corruption. While "corruption" indices first appeared in 1995 with the Corruption Perceptions Index CPI, all of these metrics address different proxies for corruption, such as public perceptions of the extent of the problem.

Question: Why is it difficult to measure corruption?

Question: When did indices on corruption first appear?

Question: What was the first index on corruption, in 1995?
Passage: There are two methods of corruption of the judiciary: the state (through budget planning and various privileges), and the private. Budget of the judiciary in many transitional and developing countries is almost completely controlled by the executive. The latter undermines the separation of powers, as it creates a critical financial dependence of the judiciary. The proper national wealth distribution including the government spending on the judiciary is subject of the constitutional economics. Judicial corruption can be difficult to completely eradicate, even in developed countries.

Question: How many methods of judiciary corruption are there?

Question: What part of the government controls the judiciary budget in many developing countries?

Question: What does executive branch control over judiciary money undermine?

Question: What type of corruption is hard to get rid of even in developed countries?
Passage: Mobile telecommunications and radio broadcasting help to fight corruption, especially in developing regions like Africa, where other forms of communications are limited. In India, the anti-corruption bureau fights against corruption, and a new ombudsman bill called Jan Lokpal Bill is being prepared.

Question: Radio broadcasts and what help deter corruption?

Question: What country is used as an example for limited forms of communications?

Question: Who works against corruption in India?

Question: What new ombudsman bill is being readied in India?
Passage: In the 1990s, initiatives were taken at an international level (in particular by the European Community, the Council of Europe, the OECD) to put a ban on corruption: in 1996, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, for instance, adopted a comprehensive Programme of Action against Corruption and, subsequently, issued a series of anti-corruption standard-setting instruments:

Question: What decade saw international initiatives to combat corruption?

Question: Who started the Programme of Action?

Question: What did the Programme of Action issue?
Passage: The purpose of these instruments was to address the various forms of corruption (involving the public sector, the private sector, the financing of political activities, etc.) whether they had a strictly domestic or also a transnational dimension. To monitor the implementation at national level of the requirements and principles provided in those texts, a monitoring mechanism – the Group of States Against Corruption (also known as GRECO) (French: Groupe d'Etats contre la corruption) was created.

Question: What does GRECO stand for?

Question: What is the name of the French equivalent of GRECO?

Question: The instruments used to point out the different corrupt forms looked to see if they were rigidly domestic or what?
Passage: The term dialect (from Latin dialectus, dialectos, from the ancient Greek word διάλεκτος diálektos, "discourse", from διά diá, "through" and λέγω legō, "I speak") is used in two distinct ways to refer to two different types of linguistic phenomena.

Question: What language is the word dialectus from?

Question: From what language does the word diálektos come?

Question: What does diálektos mean in English?

Question: How many different types of linguistic phenomena is the term dialect used to describe?

Question: How many distinct ways is the term dialect used?
Passage: One usage—the more common among linguists—refers to a variety of a language that is a characteristic of a particular group of the language's speakers. The term is applied most often to regional speech patterns, but a dialect may also be defined by other factors, such as social class. A dialect that is associated with a particular social class can be termed a sociolect, a dialect that is associated with a particular ethnic group can be termed as ethnolect, and a regional dialect may be termed a regiolect. According to this definition, any variety of a language constitutes "a dialect", including any standard varieties.

Question: What is the common definition of dialect?

Question: What is the term dialect most often applied to?

Question: Aside from region, what is an example of a factor that may influence dialect?

Question: What is a term for a dialect particular to a social class?

Question: What do you call a dialect particular to a certain ethnicity?
