Corruption is a serious threat to prosperity, democracy and well-being, with mounting empirical evidence highlighting it detrimental effects on society. Yet defining this threat has resulted in profound disagreement, which makes it difficult to come to terms with the problem.
In the new book Making Sense of Corruption the authors Bo Rothstein and Aiysha Varraich describe how our understanding of corruption has evolved over time. They also argue for a possibility of a universal understanding of corruption, and specifically what corruption is not, presenting an innovative solution to the definition problem.
Welcome to a breakfast seminar where Bo Rothstein, Professor of Government and Public Policy at Oxford University will present the book.
