Despite the growth in literature on political corruption,
contributions from field research are still exiguous. This book
provides a timely and much needed addition to current research,
bridging the gap and providing an innovative approach to the study
of corruption and integrity in public administration. The volume
contributors provide insights from nine different countries, all
drawing on extensive fieldwork data and following ethnographic
methodologies. The topics discussed in this book include: the role
of anti-corruption legislation; organizational change and morality;
party corruption; socio-cultural dimensions of corruption;
clientelism and patronage. Analyzing these topics comparatively,
the volume concludes that in countries where public perception of
corruption is high, citizens are well aware of the generalized
damage of these practices and the loss of trust they cause for
public administrations. On the other hand, corruption in public
administration takes place following patterns that mirror some of
the fundamental social and cultural features that characterize
interactions among citizens and institutions. Scholars and students
of the fields including public policy, public administration,
sociology and anthropology will find this book to be of use to
their research and studies. It will also be of interest to
policy-makers internationally and public sector practitioners.
Contributors include: M. Acar, C. Baez Camargo, E.
Denisova-Schmidt, Z.T. Lofranco, N. Luci, R.M. Rivera, R.F
Sambaiga, D. Torsello
