Corruption in Latin America



My blogpost about Brazil and its struggle to combat corruption, made me curious about corruption-levels in other Latin American countries. I was interested in historical data to evaluate each country. I wanted to know in which countries corruption is increasing or decreasing and in which countries corruption-levels remain more or less stable.

Brazil's Anti-Corruption Struggle

 Brazil won the right to host the 2014 FIFA World Cup tournament on 30 October 2007 as the only country that was left to enter a bid. On October 2, 2009 Rio de Janeiro was officially announced to host the Olympic Games 2016. These two upcoming world events put great pressure on the country not only to make it a success, but Rio has to put its very best foot forward, because it will be in the World's spotlight.
