Abstract

This research paper is a comparative study of different dimensions of anticorruption measure and strategy between Nepal and Korea. According to various indicators, regarding corruption, governance and socio-economy, produced by different international organizations, Nepal’s status seems very critical. These indicators clearly show the picture of integrity, transparency and application of rule of law, which are very weak and vulnerable in Nepal. In the other hand, even though Korea, still, is not recognized as a fully clean country regarding application of rule of law, transparency and integrity, she has made a remarkable progress on this issue and far ahead compared to Nepal. Regarding corruption control she is relatively successful and therefore, of course, there are many lessons to be learnt from the experience of anti-corruption movement of Korea. This research is focused on implementation part of anti-corruption policy, laws, strategies, action plans and its frameworks in a comparative manner and analysing these finally try to find its strength, weakness, opportunity and threats or challenges. And also this research analyse the commonalities and differences between the two countries’ anticorruption measures and finally concludes with some key suggestions on how to strengthen the Nepalese anti-corruption movement, to consolidate rule of law, to encourage integrity and build transparency.
