Sommario/riassunto

While most people assume that all bribery is unethical, the literature provides examples and philosophical arguments to support the proposition that some bribery may actually be ethical, based on utilitarian grounds. This book provides a theoretical and empirical examination of bribery from an ethical perspective. Complimentary to The Ethics of Bribery: Theoretical and Empirical Studies, this book offers a multi-country, multi-regional comparison to determine whether views toward bribery differ by geographic location. This includes case studies from USA, Japan, China, Russia, the MENA region, developed and developing countries, among others. .
