Transplanting Sweden’s Anticorruption Reforms into the Brazilian Legal Framework: A Viability Analysis

Corruption is a global problem that affects several countries, leading developed countries to adopt anti-corruption reforms to combat it. However, the application of these reforms in developing countries is a controversial issue due to the particularities of these countries. This article aims to analyze the feasibility of anti-corruption reforms adopted by developed countries, such as Sweden, in the context of developing countries, such as Brazil. To achieve this objective, bibliographic and documentary research was carried out to identify the main anti-corruption reforms adopted by Sweden and their possible adaptations to be used in the socio-cultural context of Brazil. Attempts to combat corruption in Brazil were also evaluated, and it was concluded that the application of anti-corruption reforms in developing countries is a complex task, as it involves considering the cultural, economic, and political differences between countries. However, several measures can be identified and applied based on the successful experiences of developed countries, such as strengthening control and oversight institutions, creating reporting channels, and raising awareness in society about the importance of combating corruption.
