Abstract
This article sustains the need to link the fight against corruption with a much broader objective such as that of improving the quality of governance. Without this broader goal, anti-corruption strategies are bound to fail. Countries that best control corruption are also those with the highest quality of government. An executive branch subjected to effec-tive limits in its exercise in order to guarantee the safeguarding of the public interest in all its actions not only allows better control of corruption, but at the same time also ensures better levels of prosperity, a greater degree of equal opportunities, and also higher doses of institutional and social trust.
