This book deals with large-scale, systemic corruption, a phenomenon
that it identifies as part of the political landscape in most, if
not all, societies of the contemporary world. While the analysis is
grounded in the political thought of earlier thinkers, especially
Edmund Burke, and integrates the insights of several modern
analysts of corruption, the volume offers a new, updated
theoretical perspective on the topic. This perspective reflects
deep concerns with corruption in a world facing accelerated social
transition, increased economic polarization, and growing distrust
toward political elites in many countries. This book approaches
corrupt practices both theoretically and empirically, offering the
perspectives of scholars who come to the topic from different
traditions and cultures. It contains the collective efforts of
members of the Research Committee on Political Finance and Public
Corruption of the International Political Science Association. In
formulating a comprehensive approach on corruption, the volume
offers insights in regard to new developments in the United States,
in Middle Eastern countries (especially in the wake of the Arab
Spring), in several European counties (Austria, Italy, Spain), as
well as in the People's Republic of China. The analysis goes beyond
the traditional legal definitions of corruption or purely economic
views of it and focuses more broadly on institutional, cultural,
and normative dimensions of this globally important phenomenon.
