This book explores illegal forms of corruption and, more widely,
moral and legal forms of corruption. The authors draw on detailed
ethnographic accounts of corrupt practice at local, national and
international levels. Coverage includes both Western and
non-Western societies, from Italy to Latin America, to Albania,
Africa and post-Soviet bureaucracy in Russia, Mongolia and
Kazakhstan. There is also a chapter on corruption in the context of
globalization. Key issues discussed include the problems caused by
the inflated rhetoric of corruption and by the inadequacy of
official definitions. The authors look at measures designed to
bring corruption under some degree of control, discussing the level
of legal intervention compatible with public expectations and with
the dynamics of trust and responsibility. This fascinating book
makes a significant contribution to our understanding of
conflicting public and private moralities.
