Although Canada is regarded as one of the least corrupt countries,
this volume draws on wide ranging evidence and innovative research
from scholars around the world to challenge this assumption.
Corruption, defined as the "abuse of entrusted power for private
gain," is often understood as being caused by internally motivated
greed leading to prohibited acts in contravention of laws, rules
and regulations. It can also be defined as "dishonest action that
destroys people's trust." These traditional forms of corruption
pose problems for Canada in a variety of policy domains, as well as
"institutional corruption" evidenced by deception and financial
inconsistency that undermine the effectiveness and transparency of
policy objectives. This volume contains chapters that investigate
various areas of corruption in Canada, ranging from corruption
amongst the First Nations, to the armed forces, to the delivery of
foreign assistance. It also offers suggestions to reduce future
outbreaks of corruption. Each chapter provides detailed empirical
analysis evidenced through real world examples that highlight key
lessons amidst the numerous challenges posed by corruption. This
book was originally published as a special issue of the Canadian
Foreign Policy Journal.
