Corruption

OpenAlex English

Corruption remains a pervasive global obstacle, eroding good governance and impeding development. This collection of works comprehensively investigates the subject, thereby linking academic thought with the realities of practical administration. The book is structured in three parts: initially, it re-evaluates the conceptual foundations of corruption, moving beyond 'one-size-fits-all' approaches to propose proactive resilience frameworks. Subsequently, the second part presents thorough empirical analyses across diverse regional contexts, including Colombia, Indonesia, Ukraine, and Central Asia, investigating the influence of institutional capture and judicial independence on the trajectory of corruption. Lastly, the volume delves into current policy applications, emphasizing digitalization and AI in the Gulf, and addressing integrity across sectors such as law enforcement, construction, and healthcare. Combining global case studies with new technological and legal tactics, this book is an indispensable resource for academics, practitioners, and decision-makers. In a time marked by rapid technological development and international challenges, these findings offer a critical framework for building resilient, honest societies.
