The Social Construction of Corruption in Europe (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume demonstrates the suitability of the theory of social constructivism in portraying and analyzing the diversity of the phenomenon of corruption. The approach of social constructivism taken in this volume is able to reconstruct the 'construction of corruption' both from a societal perspective and from the perspective of actors who perceive corrupt behaviour as problem solving in everyday life. It contains case studies of social definitions of corruption in eleven European countries that contribute in different ways to establishing a grounded theory of the phenomenon of corruption.
