This book explores the causes of corruption in the Middle East and
North Africa through a systematic cross-national comparative
analysis of fifteen countries in the region. It aims to explain
causal relationships between corruption and differences in
political and socio-economic dimensions within these different
countries over the period 1999-2010. The countries are grouped
together into three sub-regions (the Gulf region, North Africa, and
Mashreq plus Yemen). The author finds that the main variables that
showed robustness in impacting the intensity of corruption are the
rule of law, quality of regulations, and trade openness. Poverty
rates and income inequality have been clear triggers for petty
corruption. Meanwhile, natural resources endowments have shown less
of an impact on the levels of corruption, and similarly women's
empowerment has not been found to be a strong indicator.
