References.This monograph explores the nature of corruption around the world from a geographic perspective. It focuses on historical context and cultural factors. Readers will learn that though corruption is pervasive, geography greatly shapes its character. This book will offer a better understanding of the level of corrupt activity in any given country. The book analyzes an array of countries and regions. Coverage ranges from democratic societies, where corruption is low due to high rates of literacy and a free press, to the most corrupt places, where centralized power structures and lack of a free media allow corruption to unfold unimpeded. Anti-corruption campaigns and their effectiveness are also reflected upon. In addition to data from Transparency International, the text examines relevant political events. In each case, the analysis focuses on the major actors and institutions involved; the cultural norms that often regard corruption as a normal part of doing business; and the attempts by foreign and domestic actors to minimize corruption. This book will help readers better understand the causes and consequences of corruption, as well as its type and severity varies widely across the planet. It will appeal to students, researchers, policy makers, and interested general readers.GeoJournal Library,0924-5499 ;125Economic geographyHuman geographyEconomic developmentLaw and economicsPhysical geographyDevelopment economicsEconomic Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000Human Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000Development Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913000Law and Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W39000World Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J19000Development Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000Economic geography.Human geography.Economic development.Law and economics.Physical geography.Development economics.Economic Geography.Human Geography.Development Studies.Law and Economics.World Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions).Development Economics.973Warf Barneyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut443844BOOK9910337897103321Global Corruption from a Geographic Perspective1921270UNINA
