The problem of corruption, however described, dates back thousands
of years. Professionals working in areas such as development
studies, economics and political studies, were the first to most
actively analyse and publish on the topic of corruption and its
negative impacts on economies, societies and politics. There was,
at that time, minimal literature available on corruption and the
law. The literature and discussion on bribery and corruption, as
well as on the negative impact of each and what is required to
address them, particularly in the legal context, are now
considerable. Corruption and anti-corruption are multifaceted and
multi-disciplinary. The focus now on the law and compliance, and
perhaps commercial incentives, is relatively easy. However,
corruption, anti-corruption and the motivations for them are
complex. If we continue to discuss, debate, engage, address
corruption and anti-corruption in our own disciplinary silos, we
are unlikely to significantly progress the fight against
corruption. What do terms such as 'culture of integrity', 'demand
accountability', 'transparency and accountability' and 'ethical
corporate culture' dominating the anti-corruption discourse mean,
if anything, in other disciplines? If they are meaningless, what
approach would practitioners in those other disciplines suggest be
adopted to address corruption. What has their experience been in
the field? How can the work of each discipline contribute to the
work of whole and, as such, improve our work in and understanding
of anti-corruption? This book seeks to answer these questions and
to understand the phenomenon more comprehensively. It will be of
value to researchers, academics, lawyers, legislators and students
in the fields of law, anthropology, sociology, international
affairs, and business.
