Driven by an international agenda, the act of ‘rethinking’
corruption has already taken place more than once in the past two
decades, contributing further to a post-truth about corruption than
to anything else. This book makes a clear argument in favor of
rethinking corruption across any contingency and offers a
forecasting method, alongside the latest generation of analytical,
fact-based tools to map, assess and predict corruption risk.
Mungiu-Pippidi argues that corruption is a policy problem
frequently overriding individual choice, and can only be tackled by
strong policy interventions, not by ‘nudging’ every individual
into honesty. Chapters explain that corruption has not decreased
despite unprecedented efforts because the international context
presently creates far more opportunities for it than constraints:
few nations, governments or international organizations have proven
able to solve the social dilemma of corruption. Meanwhile, many
countries, governments, businesses and politicians profit from a
world order where integrity cannot be enforced and perpetuate the
current status quo. Rethinking Corruption will be crucial reading
for academics and students of political science, sociology and law
seeking to understand the theoretical dimensions of corruption. It
will also be an enlightening read for policy makers, administrators
and practitioners looking to rethink how corruption can manifest.
