The Corruption Perception Index, or CPI, is one of the most acknowledged indicators related to corruption perception worldwide. In the following paper, we aim to 1. Summarize the existing academic research comprising corruption, wherein we identify both orthodox and heterodox perspectives, 2. Review the recent critique towards CPI – which we consider a part of the orthodox perspective – methodology and 3. Compare CPI data regarding corruption perception in Argentina to other statistical data, constructed with a different sampling strategy. These objectives aim to contribute towards a clearer grasp on CPI strengths and weaknesses in providing accurate data regarding the issue of corruption in our capitalist societies. El Índice de Percepción de la Corrupción (CPI, por su sigla en inglés) constituye uno de los indicadores más difundidos a la hora de analizar el problema de la corrupción en los distintos países del globo. En el presente trabajo nos propondremos 1. Realizar una caracterización preliminar de los estudios académicos sobre la corrupción, al interior de los cuales identificamos una corriente ortodoxa y una corriente heterodoxa, 2. Reseñar las críticas que el CPI – que forma parte de la corriente heterodoxa – ha recibido, respecto de su metodología, y 3. Comparar los resultados del CPI para el caso argentino con los datos que arrojan otras mediciones, basadas en muestreos de otro tipo. Así, nos proponemos aportar al esclarecimiento de los alcances y limitaciones que el CPI posee a la hora de dar una imagen precisa respecto del problema de la corrupción en nuestras sociedades capitalistas.
