The corruption of public officials in the United States and its
corrosive impact on public policy, political stability and
democratic institutions, earns it a spot among the most critical
public crises of the last decade. There have been scandals
involving elected officials across the political spectrum from
local elected officials up to the White House, involving conflicts
of interest, campaign fundraising and political elections. At the
heart of many scandals is the discretionary power of public
officials to make decisions based on personal interest, often
leading to corruption. Understanding the nature and etiology of
corruption is important to drafting controls on discretion and
rules for accountability. While strict regulation and oversight
mechanisms have previously been designed to encourage ethical
decision-making and punish violators, it is the media and citizens
that have increasingly become modern mechanisms of accountability.
Corruption of public governance not only undermines the
effectiveness of the political system; it also results in corrupt
public policymaking on the most pressing issues facing Americans
today. This timely and insightful book provides the key elements
needed to understand the nature and prevalence of corruption in
public governance, as well as the devastating public policy
consequences. The chapters explore the implications of public
governance corruption on political stability, public trust, and
policymaking, as well as recommendations for how to establish
controls on discretion and strict regulation to increase
accountability and corruption control in public governance.
