Corruption is a pervasive problem across the world and is regularly
ranked as among the greatest global challenges. Considering the
role that corruption plays in exacerbating deprivation and fuelling
social tension, peaceful and just societies are unlikely to come
about without tackling corruption. Addressing corruption should be
a high priority for those concerned with poverty eradication,
peace, security, and justice. Yet, curiously, corruption has not
yet been the focus of any books by philosophers working on global
justice topics. Corruption and Global Justice does so. Author
Gillian Brock offers a normatively justified account of how to
allocate responsibilities for addressing corruption across the many
agents who can and should play a role. In order to know who should
take responsibility and how they should do so, we need to
understand multiple forms of corruption, the corruption risks
associated with various activities, the interventions that tackle
corruption effectively, and current policy and legal frameworks in
place for addressing corruption. In addition, Brock proposes a new
framework for navigating responsibility to address injustice, one
that is action-oriented and forward-looking. Adopting an
agent-empowering approach and harnessing the power of joining
forces in effective collective action, Corruption and Global
Justice addresses a significant global problem in a comprehensive
way, providing the tools we need for progress as we collaborate to
tackle this global scourge.
