Corruption and Anti-Corruption Upside Down: New Perspectives from the Global South

This volume presents diverse perspectives on corruption and anti-corruption efforts, analyzing the topic from various angles while avoiding preconceived solutions for such a complex and contextual phenomenon. By emphasizing the significance of unique challenges and contexts in different countries, this book challenges traditional understandings of anti-corruption efforts. Its goal is to foster innovative approaches that fundamentally reframe the conventional understanding of corruption and its solutions. To turn the conventional understanding of corruption and its solutions upside down, authors from or based in the Global North promote critical reflection and reevaluation of existing frameworks and approaches and those from or based in the Global South share their own perspectives on corruption and anti-corruption measures. By incorporating multiple voices, the book encourages a comprehensive understanding of corruption's multifaceted nature. It also fosters dialogue and idea exchange, contributing to the global conversation on effective approaches to combat corruption and promote integrity in the Global South.
