Frontmatter -- Contents -- Tables and Figures -- Preface -- 1 Ideology and the Corruption Debates -- 2 Parsing the Literature -- 3 Political Rhetoric in the Americas -- 4 Anticorruption Policies Left and Right -- 5 Assessing Policy Outcomes -- 6 The Power Factor: An Alternative Hypothesis -- 7 The Corruption Dilemmas -- Methodological Appendix -- References -- Index -- About the Book
Summary: While there is arguably universal agreement that corruption plagues countries worldwide, do we agree as well on what corruption is and how to fight it? Do the left and right on the political spectrum hold conflicting views on the issue? Is there a difference in how successful left vs. right governments are in curbing corruption? These are the questions that inspired The Corruption Debates. Stephen Morris explores left and right anticorruption ideologies broadly, then turns to promises, policies, and outcomes in the Americas. He also reaches beyond differences rooted in left/right dichotomies to develop an alternative hypothesis, one reflecting an in-power vs. out-of-power dynamic. His book captures the inherently political nature of not only corruption, but, equally, our understanding of it.
