Corruption, commonly defined as the misuse of public office for
private gains, is multifaceted, multidimensional and ubiquitous.
This edited collection, featuring contributions from leading
scholars in the field of corruption, goes beyond the standard
enforcement framework wherein individuals only compare the expected
costs and benefits of a corrupt act. These chapters explore the
political-cultural contexts, legal and regulatory process and,
above all, moral and psychological factors in attempts to
understand and explain corruption. The book explores a broad canvas
where gender, technology, culture and institutional structures
influence attitudes towards corruption. Design and implementation
of anti-corruption strategies benefit from suitable identification
of these factors contributing to the prevalence and persistence of
corruption. Combining theoretical and empirical studies with
evidence from experiments as well as case studies, the book
provides crucial state of the art in corruption research in a
highly accessible manner. This book serves as a vital reference to
students and scholars in economics, politics and development
studies. Additionally, policymakers and development practitioners
can use the insights from this book in successful design and
implementation of anti-corruption policies.
