The Odebrecht scandal has rocked Latin America with its breadth, implicating 500 elected officials across the region. Andrés González is a professor of international relations at San Francisco University of Quito, Ecuador, and he says that while corruption may remain with us, the rules of the game have changed. This is just the tip of the iceberg waiting to be uncovered, and the old deference towards corruption is fading fast.
