The Handbook on the Geographies of Corruption is a comprehensive
overview of corruption, exploring the immense variation of
corruption among nations, and how this reflects levels of wealth,
the centralization of power, colonial legacies, and different
national cultures. In this Handbook, Barney Warf brings together a
multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collection of original new
chapters from established researchers and leading academics to
examine corruption from a spatial perspective. The Handbook opens
with a series of thematic chapters on the causes and consequences
of corruption, its geography, the connection between corruption and
gender, and the role of e-government in mitigating current
corruption issues. Further chapters offer a series of national case
studies, on countries including Mexico, Brazil, South Africa,
Turkey, Russia, Pakistan, China, Indonesia, Ukraine, Bangladesh,
and the Philippines from which to draw lessons. This Handbook will
be a valuable read for human geography scholars and corruption
researchers, wishing to gain a more in depth understanding of how
and why corruption levels differ across the world. Practitioners
concerned with combatting corruption would also greatly benefit
from reading this given its real-world insights. Contributors
