What are the strengths and weaknesses of these anti-corruption measures? Can anything be done to enhance these measures? What accounts for the different levels of effectiveness of the ACAs in Asian countries after more than six decades of their reliance on these agencies to curb corruption?

Authors describe the anti-corruption prevention measures and official bodies present in these five countries and discuss their current effectiveness and ways in which they can be improved.
