Handbook on Corruption, Ethics and Integrity in Public Administration

This thoroughly updated and revised second edition Handbook examines how corruption shapes and challenges public administration around the world. Providing fresh insights into the exploration of corruption, global contributors discuss what it looks like, why it persists and how it can be addressed.

Broadening the international scope of the original Handbook, this edition includes case studies in Botswana, Hungary, Papua New Guinea and Thailand, assessing how different national administrative environments shape corruption, and how governments seek to eradicate the unique problems it poses. Additional chapters address the global governance challenges of state capture, open data, AI and anti-money laundering. Enhancing the conceptual framing of the first edition, the Handbook strengthens the links between corruption, ethics and integrity systems, analysing new data and policy developments and advancing research in this fast-developing field.

This Handbook is a key resource for scholars and students of public administration and management, politics and public policy and sociology. Policy-makers, government employees, anti-corruption watchdogs and public sector agencies will also benefit from the proposed strategies for tackling corruption and building integrity.
