Introduction and summary
The United States today faces a pressing threat to its national interests: the strategic use of corruption by autocratic and kleptocratic states to undermine the integrity of democratic institutions and interfere in the politics of democratic states for geopolitical advantage. Such strategic corruption is not a new phenomenon, but it has become more acute and sophisticated with the rise of offshore financial centers and the growing assertiveness of authoritarian competitors in using nontraditional means of projecting power and wielding influence. In recent years, strategic corruption has been deployed more systematically and with greater success against the United States and its democratic partners than in previous eras.

Washington, D.C. — A new report from the Center for American Progress urges the United States, and in particular the U.S. Department of the Treasury, to do more to combat the strategic use of corruption by authoritarian states and the private sector actors who enable it.
While strategic corruption is not a new phenomenon, it has become more widespread and sophisticated with the rise of offshore financial centers and the growing assertiveness of authoritarian leaders who embrace these unsavory tactics to project power and wield influence, the report says. And they are increasingly targeting the United States and other democracies.
