Acknowledgements
The editors of the Global Corruption Report 2005 would like to thank the many individuals who were instrumental in the development of this year’s report, above all our authors. We are particularly grateful to our Editorial Advisory Committee for their ongoing commitment to the Global Corruption Report and in particular for their large contribution to the thematic section of this year’s report: Zainab Bangura, Merli Baroudi, Peter Bosshard, John Bray, Sarah Burd-Sharps, Laurence Cockcroft, Jorge Díaz Padilla, Dennis de Jong, John Makumbe, Devendra Raj Panday, Anthony Sampson, Emilia SicákováBeblavá, Neill Stansbury, Frank Vogl and Michael Wiehen. Many thanks are due to the countless colleagues across the Transparency International movement, from the Secretariat in Berlin to national chapters around the world, who made our challenging task easier with their ideas and advice. TI national chapters deserve special mention for making a tremendous contribution to the expanded country-reports section. Outside the TI network, thanks are also due to the many people who generously devoted their time and energy to the report: David Abouem, Susan Rose-Ackerman, Ulrich von Alemann, Mahaman Tidjani Alou, Rosenthal Calmon Alves, Jens Chr.
