This book offers a comprehensive examination of corruption as a global phenomenon. Corruption in the Global Era explores its causes and impacts across various sectors.
In Corruption in the Global Era, the authors aim to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue that bridges theory and practice, while also connecting various academic fields. This initiative seeks to deepen our understanding of the complex and multifaceted nature of corruption as it manifests on a global scale. By examining the intersections of corruption with the forces of globalization, the book highlights how this pervasive issue is not only expanding rapidly but is also increasingly influenced by global developments.
The book discusses notable cases such as the Panama Papers, the FIFA scandals, and the Petrobras case in Brazil, illustrating the alarming global reach of corrupt practices. It emphasizes the challenges posed by a lack of empirical data on corrupt schemes and the insufficient dialogue between different disciplines, which ultimately hinders effective policy responses. Through this exploration, Corruption in the Global Era aims to shed light on the underlying causes and manifestations of corruption in various sectors, including sports, healthcare, and finance.
Bringing together leading experts from diverse fields—ranging from criminology and economics to journalism and legal ethics—the book combines theoretical insights with firsthand accounts of corruption in areas like banking and media. Furthermore, it examines the connections between corruption and other global crimes, such as money laundering and human trafficking. This comprehensive resource serves as an invaluable tool for researchers, academics, and professionals seeking to navigate the intricate landscape of corruption today.
