The Routledge Handbook of Anti-Corruption Research and Practice
Today, there exist more than 150 specialised anti-corruption agencies (ACAs). Although being praised as key contributors to suppressing high-level corruption, sometimes, they fail to produce tangible results. This is often contributed to weak mandate, which raises the question of responsibility of legislature. The nexus between parliaments and ACAs has been largely overlooked by the existing literature. This chapter develops a conceptual framewor…
Getting “Strategic Corruption” Right: Mapping Contested Meanings in a Changing Geopolitical Landscape
Political Opportunism in Peru’s Judicial Reform: The National Council of the Judiciary and the National Board of Justice, 2018–2024
The meeting of two worlds: Strategic Corruption as an Emerging Concept in (Anti-)Corruption Studies and International Relations
In the wake of significant international events like the Russian invasion of Ukraine and China's assertive diplomacy, the recently developed concept of strategic corruption has been increasingly employed to discuss how corruption infiltrates international affairs. Unlike traditional corruption, strategic corruption is commonly understood to be a sophisticated mechanism that states use to achieve geopolitical objectives, intertwining economic and …
Battling Two Fronts: Exploring the Relationship Between Organized Crime and the Implementation of Anti-Corruption Conventions in the Western Hemisphere
Three-Dimensional Corruption Metrics: A Proposal for Integrating Frequency, Cost, and Significance
Despite a lack of consensus on the most effective methods for measuring corruption, a variety of initiatives have been launched over the past decade. This paper contributes to the evolving field by arguing for the integration of frequency, cost, and local significance, into a three-dimensional approach for the development of enhanced metrics. After revisiting the history of corruption measurement, each proposed dimension is discussed by reference…
How to identify widespread corruption? New insights from geo‐spatial analysis
How do we know when corruption has become widespread? Despite the rich body of literature on the problem, there are few proposed methods to conceptualize and empirically identify it within a geographic context. Using spatial analysis, this paper expands the means to identify corruption as an informal institution by examining the degree to which favoritism—in the form of preferential treatment for politically connected firms—is widespread in the C…

Low-Level Corruption Tolerance: An “Action-Based” Approach for Peru and Latin America
Since the beginning of the past decade, the tolerance of corruption by citizens of most Latin American countries has become a concept in its own right within the broader study of corruption. This construct, however, lacks a systematic approach and is yet to account for specific types of corruption tolerance or identify appropriate indicators to measure them. The present study addresses these voids by analyzing data provided by LAPOP's AmericasBar…
