The link between gender and corruption has been studied since the
late 1990s. Debates have been heated and scholars accused of
bringing forward stereotypical beliefs about women as the "fair"
sex. Policy proposals for bringing more women to office have been
criticized for promoting unrealistic quick-fix solutions to deeply
rooted problems. This edited volume advances the knowledge
surrounding the link between gender and corruption by including
studies where the historical roots of corruption are linked to
gender and by contextualizing the exploration of relationships, for
example by distinguishing between democracies versus authoritarian
states and between the electoral arena versus the administrative
branch of government-the bureaucracy. Taken together, the chapters
display nuances and fine-grained understandings. The book
highlights that gender equality processes, rather than the
exclusionary categories of "women" and "men", should be at the
forefront of analysis, and that developments strengthening the
position of women vis-a-vis men affect the quality of government.
