The Cancer of Corruption in Latin America: The Odebrecht Case

In this article, taking into account the corruption case of the Brazilian construction company Odebrecht as an example, I try to determine the causes and consequences of the influence of the Odebrccht corruption case on the political instability of Latin America during the last 15 years. Through the review and analysis of the related bibliographies, the theoretical and practical factors behind political corruption in Latin American countries, especially in Brazil, are defined to some extent. To find a relatively feasible method, some suggestions are provided for anti-corruption work and political and social stability in the region, as well as for future academic deepening.
