Between Morality and the Law (eBook, PDF)

Corruption, Anthropology and Comparative Society
Redaktion: Pardo, Italo

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on detailed enthnographies, the authors address illegal forms of corruption and more widely, moral and legal forms of corruption in Western and non-Western societies. Based on descriptive analyses of corrupt practices at and beyond the local level, it stands as a demonstration that empirical investigation can be carried out. The work draws on long-term research based on a combination of traditional anthropological methods, background knowledge and the study of documentary sources.

Rezensionen

'The case studies included would prove useful to anthropologists, ethnographers, sociologists and other social scientists who in the future would be interested in approaching the ubiquity of corruption on a global scale.' Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
