About the Book

This insightful Handbook provides an overview of corruption within the context of higher education. Through a variety of international case studies, theoretical frameworks and methodologies, it examines the underlying issues involved in corruption as well as the damaging impact on scholarly cultures and the academic enterprise. Leading and emerging global experts discuss how the success of universities is particularly dependent on an honest community of scholars and students, as well as on a research culture based on the tradition of peer review and open analysis. They identify the ways in which corruption can enter academia through direct and indirect student involvement and in monetary or non-monetary forms, including cheating in exams, plagiarism, academic promotions, student admissions and financial crimes. The Handbook further investigates the reputational damage and distrust in higher education that these incidents can create among wider society. Scholars and students of education policy, academic integrity, corruption studies and sociology will greatly benefit from this informative Handbook. Timely and engaging, it is also an essential resource for policymakers and practitioners in university management and higher education.

Review :
‘The Handbook on Corruption in Higher Education offers a wide-ranging exploration of unethical practices and policies affecting colleges and universities around the world. The Handbook is a groundbreaking contribution to the global literature in an under-researched area in international and comparative higher education. It is an essential read for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding and combating the challenges that threaten the integrity of and trust in higher education institutions.’ ‘The Handbook on Corruption in Higher Education is a welcome addition to the academic literature on a multi-faceted phenomenon that threatens academic integrity and reduces trust in the value of higher education. As policymakers, university leaders, and academics are increasingly struggling with the implications of the digital revolution and the advent of artificial intelligence, the comprehensive analysis offered by the Handbook could not have come at a better time.’ ‘Academic corruption is a rampant phenomenon in today’s world, yet its manifestations are rarely researched into or documented. This Handbook is a bold attempt to define academic corruption, identify individual and institutional practices and with such empirical evidence advance the discourse on corruption in higher education. Its advocacy for academic integrity, in an educational landscape increasingly shaped by digital technology and artificial intelligence, is highly convincing and makes for a compelling read for researchers and policy makers.’ ‘It is an indisputable fact that corruption in higher education exists in all regions of the world, albeit in different forms and varying degrees. There is every indication that it will continue to increase, especially with the advent of new technologies. This unique and timely Handbook, with contributions from scholars from different parts of the world and which boldly exposes the multiple facets and different perspectives of corruption in higher education, is therefore an excellent resource for all higher education stakeholders.’ ‘The problem of corruption in higher education is as serious as it is common, because it undermines the credibility of vital social institutions. This volume brings together an impressive array of leading scholars and cutting edge research that one can only hope will serve to improve the life of universities around the world.’
