First published 1997, this volume examines the way in which
political corruption remains neglected as a matter of scholarly
enquiry and research. There is still a powerful and traditional
taboo which is quite out of the step with the topic's real world
significance and the increasing attention it receives from serious
sections of the media. The book aims by systematic exposition and
case study to break down that taboo and to demonstrate the topic's
importance within a framework provided by the discipline of
geography. The novelty of the book is then that it considers a
formerly unconsidered factor - corruption - as part of the world's
geography, as both part of the geographical context in which human
activity takes place and as a spatially variable condition
explicable at least in part in terms of other geographies. The
conclusion is that much geographical scholarship ignores this
factor at the risk of its credibility.
