Social norms shape corruption, but power and interests sustain it.
🔹 If elites benefit from rule-breaking, they’ll resist change.
🔹 Reform strategies must account for power dynamics to succeed.

ALT Trying to change the equilibrium by shifting norms of some in the system will have limited effects without tackling the power and interests of those who stand to lose out from norm change.

🔍 Can social norms fight corruption? Yes—but not alone.
Norms influence behaviour, but powerful actors shape the rules. Without tackling vested interests, norm change alone won’t succeed.

ALT 'Simply attempting to address norms without considering the power and interests of actors who will push back is inherently risky and unlikely to lead to systems change.'

'In the UK, ownership of real estate can still be hidden through offshore companies held by trusts, bypassing recent transparency reforms.'
UK interests enable much needed funds to be siphoned out of Africa. How can incentives here shift when the powerful have so much to gain?
