Resumen

Local corruption in Latin America (2018–2025) is a legal and administrative phenomenon that affects institutional legitimacy and public trust. This study analyzes the integration of strategic communication with compliance and social behavior as preventive mechanisms in public administration. The research employs a qualitative and comparative methodology, based on document review and regulatory analysis, with verifiable experiences in Chile, Mexico, and Peru, and references to the Philippines and Indonesia. The results show progress in public ethics, citizen participation, and the strengthening of oversight mechanisms, although limitations persist due to insufficient resources, bureaucracy, and a lack of legal obligation in certain regulatory frameworks. The study concludes that communication, conceived as a cultural and ethical practice, is an instrument for articulating social norms and values, preventing acts of corruption, and consolidating democratic trust in public administration.
