La corrupción es uno de los grandes problemas que amenazan el bienestar de la sociedad. En los últimos años, han sido conocidos múltiples y muy significativos casos de corrupción, tanto a nivel internacional como en España. El ámbito de la Cooperación Internacional y la Ayuda Oficial al Desarrollo, pese a la nobleza de su razón de ser, no escapa, sin embargo, al ataque de las prácticas corruptas. En este artículo, se emplean las metodologías de interacción de variables y análisis descriptivo y funcional para estudiar cómo afecta la corrupción a la Cooperación Internacional y la Ayuda Oficial al Desarrollo en España y analizar los mecanismos desarrollados para evitarla. Asimismo, se estudian una serie de prácticas, que sin ser jurídicamente corrupción, desnaturalizan el concepto, restan eficiencia y deben ser corregidas.

Are international organizations autonomous actors in global politics? This paper investigates whether and how major powers influence the World Bank’s official development assistance policies. Despite the World Bank’s attempts to maintain independence from its member states, we argue that major powers are still influential. Testing this expectation with the data of official development assistance provisions between 1981 and 2017, we find that the World Bank provides a higher amount of official development assistance to the recipient countries that receive a higher amount of such assistance from the major powers such as the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Japan. In addition, the World Bank is prone to provide a higher amount of official development assistance to the recipients that have a similar preference to the major powers. This study sheds light on the relations between major powers and international organizations.
