Corruption and Development in Asian Nations

"Corruption and Development in Asian Nations" examines the pervasive issue of corruption in Asia, ranging from local officials' demands for accommodation to multi-million dollar bribery by corrupt politicians. We explore how corruption affects various sectors, including job-related abuses, future job delivery in the private sector, and issues faced by law-abiding government employees. The book also covers topics like money laundering and ‘white elephant’ projects that benefit engineers and their political allies.

Divided into four main sections—corruption and the state, corruption and economic development, corruption and society, and corruption control—this book discusses theories, stories, and trends of corruption and anti-corruption reforms in Asia. We compare and contrast corruption in different social and institutional contexts, examining both successful and unsuccessful efforts to control it and the lessons learned from these experiences.

This comprehensive guide appeals to students and scholars of Asian, political, and social sciences, offering valuable insights into the complexities of corruption and its impact on development.
