A short but engaging look at what makes Denmark one of the least
corrupt countries in the world. Corruption is a profoundly
destructive force around the world, but why does its extent vary so
drastically among countries? In Corruption, Mette Frisk Jensen
closely links the level of corruption in a country to its wealth,
the happiness of its citizens, and the level of trust citizens have
in their government. Covering the shifting concept of corruption
from ancient Greece to modern-day cases, Frisk Jensen discusses why
corruption has historically been low in Denmark in particular. She
outlines how transparency, meritocratic recruitment, bureaucratic
autonomy, high standards of accountability, and impartial legal
institutions have been used to combat corruption and what lessons
can be learned from these policies. Reflections In Reflections, a
series copublished with Denmark's Aarhus University Press, scholars
deliver 60-page reflections on a key concept that encapsulates
their years of study and research. These books present unique
insights on a wide range of topics and concepts-everything from
love, trust, and play, to corruption, welfare, and sleep-that
entertain and enlighten readers with exciting discoveries and new
perspectives.
