This volume together scholars specializing in different parts of
the world to give us a comparative understanding of the persistence
of corruption in some societies. The reader is privileged to learn
from the many global variations that are skilfully presented for
further analyses. Corruption is a salient feature of human
condition in any organized society. Further, where risks are low
and the returns high, corruption is almost inevitable. Apart from
this, traditional public behaviour comes precariously close to what
in the West might amount to corrupt practices. Bureaucratic
corruption should be understood in the light of a clash of morality
on the one hand and legality on the other. There is a contradiction
between traditional values, which are held in respect and are a
part of everyday life of a people, and norms of the larger society
which stand out as compelling forces. The idea of the modern
division between the public and private office is alien to a
traditional culture and corruption finds space when this division
is not strictly observed. Seven essays in this volume cover a range
of countries which include India, South Africa, Nigeria, Zimbabwe,
and Indonesia. As the essays unfold themselves, the problem of
corruption takes on an added dimension, that of a legacy left
behind by colonialism. Please note: This title is co-published with
Social Science Press, New Delhi. Taylor & Francis does not sell
or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan,
