So what is your solution? you haven't made an argument that there is an alternative choice other than 'more government'. Sure, bureaucracies are sprawling beasts of inertia, but what's the alternative here? Less government hasn't exactly proven to be less corrupt - it might just look like that because less corruption is outright visible.

It’s not that hard.
Like most problems, the defense is isolation and segmentation.
You build a bureaucracy where the folks running said bureaucracy are disconnected from meddling by the people at the top. When you go to DMV, there isn’t significant corruption in that process. It’s equally painful for everyone. There’s some reshuffling of appointees between administrations, but the bureaucracy does what it does.

Thats why you build constructs that gets all the people climbing over each other, to be busy backstabbing?
Man, this thread is great for a chuckle. The same people saying that wouldn't say, "The solution to police brutality, is more police to watch the police." Then we'll need more police to watch the police to watch the police. Then we'll need police to watch the police to watch the police to watch the police. ad nauseam.
How about we all agree that international politics and corruption in government is not a simple topic with easy catchphrase answers? What's government consist of? People. And money/power. The two hardest things on the planet to keep from becoming corrupt. Anywhere you have lots of ONE of them, it's a nightmare of security, regulations, and social engineering. Government has both. Limitless nameless faces all trying to climb over each other to get ahead. It's Hollywood without the talent or the regulation.
