Abstract
This paper examines the impact early ratification of the United Nations Convention
against Corruption has on a country’s Corruption Perceptions Index score. It builds
on much of the recent scholarly work that explores policy diffusion and the role of
early adopters (or leaders) in creating the space for later adopters (or laggards) to
adopt particular policies and the broader impact this has on country performance
in a key international index. It tests empirically the impact of early ratification
upon both the diffusion of policy and, more generally, the role of international legal
instruments in comparative public policy.
