Corruption in Asia ranges from the venal rent-seeking of local
officials to the million-dollar bribes received by corrupt
politicians; from excessive position-related consumption to future
job offers in the private sector for compliant public servants;
from money-laundering to 'white elephant' projects that do little
more than line the pockets of developers and their political
partners. The Routledge Handbook of Corruption in Asia addresses
the theories, issues and trends in corruption and anticorruption
reform that have emerged from this diverse experience. The book is
divided into four major parts: corruption and the state; corruption
and economic development; corruption and society; and controlling
corruption: strategies, successes and failures. Chapters compare
and contrast corruption in different social and institutional
contexts, examine both successful and unsuccessful attempts to
control it, and consider what lessons can be drawn from these Asian
experiences. This academically rigorous and insightful book will be
of interest to a wide range of students and scholars, particularly
those of Asian studies, politics and sociology.
