Youth as agents of change in anti-corruption

It seems a new focus is developing on youth as an actor in anti-corruption, with youth increasingly being referred to as agents of change. This developing focus on youth represents an issue of growing relevance that is visible in the work of Transparency International and the World Bank. Both institutions have received criticism for promoting an underlying agenda of neo-liberal reform in their work on anti-corruption; hence, this work questions whether the emphasis of youth as an actor in anti-corruption is a continuation of this agenda.
