Ever more research is engaged in understanding corruption. But we
still need more knowledge about which areas in society it affects,
and how institutional and contextual conditions influence
corruption and the risk of corruption. Moreover, countries regarded
as among the least corrupt have seldom been examined. This book
addresses these gaps. It employs a multi-method approach that
combines case- and variable-orientated strategies to study
corruption and corruption risks in the public sector in Sweden, a
country that the literature regards as having few problems of this
type. The empirical studies are conducted using a comparative logic
and with an eye to international comparisons. The study draws upon
a range of data, such as surveys, newspaper articles and primary
sources, including legal documents and a large number of personally
conducted interviews. This book is relevant for scholars, students
and practitioners with an interest in corruption risks in
representative democracy in general and the public sector in
particular.
