Intimacy versus Detachment in a Surveillance Regime: Fieldwork in Communist Romania
Field research in politically authoritarian contexts poses special problems for the ethnographic project of pursuing intimacy and trust. During my fieldwork in communist Romania, both up to my denial of entry and during my subsequent public activities outside the country until 1989, I was subject to continuing surveillance by the Romanian security organs, who also interrogated and harassed several Romanian informants and friends. Ethnographic fie…

Good People Doing Bad Things: Compliance Regimes in Organisations
Nearly all major corporations and many public agencies have established ethics and compliance departments, some of them as the result of penalties imposed by the US Department of Justice, others due to embarrassing scandals. The responsibilities of these departments range from inculcating codes of conduct and preventing bribery, to impeding litigation for harassment and bribes, or ensuring that government certifications and branch standards are f…

The 'Right Way: Moral Capitalism and the Emergence of the Corporate Ethics and Compliance Officer
Under the influence of U.S. government regulations, enforcement of anti-bribery laws and embarrassing corruption scandals, major global corporations have realized that unethical conduct may affect not only their reputations but also their profits. This development has given rise to a new position within the traditional management team: the ethics and compliance officer (who differs from the established corporate social responsibility function). B…

The anti-corruption industry: From Movement to Institution
This article describes the concept of 'industry', often used pejoratively in critiques of international development, and applies it to the field of anti-corruption. The characteristics of the anti-corruption industry, including anti-corruptionist discourse, resemble that which has taken place in development aid, human rights, civil society and gender equality. The anti-corruption industry thus includes key global actors, secondary actors who look…
Integrity Warriors: Global Morality and the Anti-Corruption Movement in the Balkans
From forms to norms: Global projects and local practices in the Balkan NGO scene
ven the most localized rule-of-law conflicts are integrally tied to global forces. At the local level, these global discourses and resources are utilized in the local power struggles as they play themselves out in democracy promotion projects. This paper analyses the role of local NGOs in helping to institute the rule of law in the new democracies of Eastern Europe. Global democracy promotion efforts in the world of projects may actually inhibit …

Making Social Science Matter: Why Social Inquiry Fails and How it Can Succeed Again
Making Social Science Matter presents an exciting new approach to the social and behavioral sciences including theoretical argument, methodological guidelines, and examples of practical application. Why has social science failed in attempts to emulate natural science and produce normal theory? Bent Flyvbjerg argues that the strength of social sciences lies in its rich, reflexive analysis of values and power, essential to the social and economic d…

The Decline of Iranshahr: Irrigation and Environments in the History of the Middle East, 500 B. C. to A. D. 1500
After the Golden Age - which is usually dated back to early Abbasid period - things began to change in the Middle East. Population decreased, ancient cities declined or were even deserted, and barbaric nomadism spread at the expense of civilised agriculture. In a parallel process intellectual creativity was stifled and artistic originality dried up. Thus even before the capitalist world economy made its influence felt, the once dynamic civilisati…

Is There an Anthropology of Socialism
The Second Economy of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe
The second economies of the Soviet Union and other East European countries derive from structural inadequacies in the socialist planning system and from the cultural and historical evolution of each East European society. This article combines the structural and cultural approaches to the second economy and focuses on four of its most prevalent forms: peasant household production, the shadow economy within socialist enterprises, the underground f…

Elites and Mobilization in Romanian Villages
This paper discusses factors which influence citizen mobilization in rural Romania, with particular focus on rural elite cadres. Elites are discussed in terms of their place in the local hierarchy, form of authority, characteristics of recruitment, work activities, value orientations used in mobilizing citizens, and factors which make for "good" and "poor" leadership. Interaction between the elites' formal role duties and their informal social ob…
