Delving into the phenomenology of corruption and its impacts on the governance of societies, this cutting edge Encyclopedia considers what makes corruption such a resilient, complex, and global priority for study.
Entries cover diverse topics concerning corruption, looking at their definitions and variations, prevalence, causal factors, governance impacts, and control policies, as well as emerging issues and new challenges such as the strategic use of corruption and the role of technology in fighting it. With coverage ranging from classic corruption themes to high-profile cases and up-and-coming topics, entries explore anti-corruption agencies, ethics committees and management, gender and corruption, gift giving, organized crime, police corruption, sextortion, tax evasion, whistleblowing, and white-collar crime. Combining different methodological approaches, this Encyclopedia delineates corruption as a powerful means of influencing public policy.
Interdisciplinary and international in scope, this Encyclopedia will be an indispensable reference work for students and scholars of regulation and governance, public policy and administration, economic crime and corruption, the sociology of corruption, and terrorism and security studies. It will also benefit policymakers and specialized anti-corruption bodies looking to refresh their knowledge.
Key Features:
• 79 wide-ranging entries organized alphabetically for accessibility and ease of navigation
• Written by 92 esteemed scholars and practitioners from around the world
• Includes relevant bibliographic references supporting conceptual, theoretical, and analytical arguments

Critical Acclaim
‘The Elgar Encyclopedia of Corruption and Society enables the reader to steer through a multifaceted, often baffling subject matter. Luís de Sousa and Susana Coroado pooled renowned experts to produce short, clear, and useful entries on the various aspects of corruption as is employed nowadays and is likely to become prominent in the immediate future, as well as less known forms it may take in specific systems and relatively new arenas that ensued from globalization. The result is a remarkable volume that is an essential tool not only to students of the various disciplines that study corruption, but to readers interested in what has become a central concern in the world we live in.’
