Based on 12 years of research on corruption across the globe, this
book presents four empirical case studies which illustrate the
cultural, cognitive, and social implications of corruption. Davide
Torsello examines the socio-institutional, organizational, and
cognitive-hermeneutical aspects of the cultural theory model of
corruption. This insightful book proposes an innovative theoretical
framework on how the notion of culture can be used to understand
corruption as an inexplicable yet resilient phenomenon. Chapters
examine the hermeneutical, cultural, and social aspects of
corruption, the unravelling political–business corruption in
contemporary Japan, and the relationship between organizational
culture and corruption. Torsello advises on how to deal with
corruption by asking questions that have often been ignored in
mainstream literature and suggests that the investigation of
corruption must focus on larger societal fields, rather than more
limited individual–organizational ones, although ultimately the
decision to indulge or not in such a criminal act is of the
individual and reflects their own degree of self-awareness.
Illustrating multidimensional perspectives on mainstream theories
of corruption, this book will be essential reading for students and
scholars in cultural sociology, political studies, public
administration and management, and public policy. It will also be
beneficial for practitioners working in criminology, local and
national governance, politics, and social policy.
