The economics of corruption

"A major theme in the study of corruption is the moral status of corruption or bribery. The readings in this collection reflect, for the first time, the role of incentives as well as governance structures at various levels - individuals, groups, classes, and sub-cultures. The major issues covered include collusion, misgovernance, corruptible law enforcers, bribe-seeking bureaucracy, electoral competition, and special interest politics. In an introduction Mishra discusses a broad spectrum of sociocultural indicators that have an impact on the level of corruption."--Jacket.
