Understanding and Combating Global Corruption: A Reader provides
students and anti-corruption thinkers and activists with a
collection of essays by accomplished scholars and thinkers from
around the world. The essays challenge readers to think through
issues associated with global corruption, in both commerce and
government, with reference to particular forms of corruption such
as bribery and fraud, as well as to systemic or systematic abuses
of power or authority. In the opening reading, students learn that
the term "corruption" has a broad definition that is not limited to
quid pro quo transactions, but can also involve betrayals of trust
and failures to render honest services on behalf of stakeholders.
Additional readings examine the various forms of corruption that
have developed within the United States throughout the country's
history, and how that corruption was mitigated or ablated by
government officials acting in the public interest. Students
explore cases of corruption from other countries, including Brazil
and Nigeria. The text closes with a philosophical argument that a
"whole-of-society approach" could help countries move toward
eradicating corruption. Featuring enlightening and
thought-provoking readings, Understanding and Combating Global
Corruption is an ideal resource for courses in business and
professional ethics.
