Migration has the potential to influence changes in migrants’ attitudes, perceptions, beliefs, and values, which they may transmit back to their country of origin through social remittances, influencing public expectations and institutional engagement. While significant academic work has been produced on migrant-driven cultural diffusion mechanisms regarding, for instance, changes in fertility behavior and institutional norms, less attention has been devoted to the nexus between migration and the transfer of norms relating to corruption. This Chapter analyses how migrants’ perception of corruption changes over time in a destination country and how these changed perceptions and values might be transferred back to their networks in the country of origin. These two relationships are discussed both in theory and practice, drawing on case studies.
