By cross-country analysis across data, the academic study identifies strong patterns that require that quality of governance be an underlying contributor towards corruption eradication. The findings report strong negative associations between levels of corruption with six dimensions of governance. That is, high levels of voice and accountability, political stability, effective governance, regulatory capacity, rule of law, corruption control associate with lower corruption. Such findings require strengthening of the structure of governance provides an effective solution towards minimisation of corruption while enhancing more credible development of public institution across Asia.
