Corruption in Society: Multidisciplinary Conceptualizations is the
first book to address the notion of corruption in a truly
multidisciplinary manner, augmented with empirical evidence. The
prevalent definition in books and articles on corruption is that it
is a dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those with political and/or
economic power, typically involving bribery. This political-economy
or public choice denotation, while very useful, is inadequate for a
comprehensive understanding of the concept because the notion of
corruption appears in every discipline. For example, in the field
of chemistry, chemical corruption concerns (a) the incorporation of
defective compounds into experiments to better simulate conditions
on the early-Earth and to help us understand how the first
molecules of life formed and (b) how to make chemicals appear
safer, sometimes dodging restrictions on their use, by minimizing
the estimates of how much is released into the environment. In
order to address this shortcoming, this book provides a
discipline-by-discipline conceptualization of corruption buttressed
with evidence from the discipline.
