 Comparative Studies on Current Situations of Anti-Corruption and Human Rights in Southern Europe, East Asia and Latin America in Perspective of Soft Power*Sang-Hwan Lee International Area Studies Review, 2010, vol. 13, issue 4, 59-74 Abstract: Today's international society is concerned with anti-bribery exchanges rather than universal issues of anti-corruption in dealing with anti-corruption round under the guidance of advanced countries. This trend is related to national competitiveness, and it is useful for the effective anti-bribery exchanges rather than the solution of universal corruption problems. This study tests the correlation between democratization and transparency in Southern Europe, East Asia, and Latin America. It shows the validity of argument that democratization brings about anti-corruption. Today, developing countries are facing serious corruption problems which prevent politico-economic development and social consensus in the long run. Their success and failure of fighting against corruption will hinge on economic development and political democratization. Specially, transparent society based on politico-economic development will eliminate corruption problems in the future of Southern Europe, East Asia, and Latin America.
