This book considers the causes of high-level state corruption as
well as the political constraints of countering corruption in
Africa. It examines elite corruption in government as well as in
the political and military spheres of state activity, and focuses
on illegal behaviour on the part of state and non-state actors in
decision-making. Situating corruption and anti-corruption within a
political framework, this book analyses the motivations,
opportunities and relative autonomy of state elites to manipulate
state decision-making for personal and political ends. Based on
detailed case studies in Uganda, the authors focus on corruption in
the privatization process, military procurement, foreign business
bribery, illegal political funding, and electoral malpractice. The
book examines why anti-corruption institutions and international
donors have been constrained in confronting this executive abuse of
power, and discusses the wider relevance of Uganda's experience for
understanding elite corruption and anti-corruption efforts in other
African countries. The Politics of Elite Corruption in Africa will
be of interest to students and scholars of African politics,
African political economy, development studies, corruption and
government.
