About the Book

This timely Handbook presents a comprehensive analysis of the current state of corruption studies, assessing its accomplishments, missed opportunities, methodologies and the next stages for progressing research. It asks four key questions: What do we want to do? What questions should we ask? How, and where, should we look for answers? And where do we go from here?



Expert scholars provide a wide range of research perspectives and critiques, examining good practices, pressing questions and key challenges. Chapters cover topics such as constructing a postcolonial theory of corruption, understanding interviews as a research tool and determining why corruption strategies often fail. They also survey the possibilities and problems that technological developments create for researchers and reformers working in big data and AI. Presenting new ideas on the measurement and typologies of corruption, this Handbook looks to the future of corruption studies, reinvigorating research in this vital field.



The Handbook of Research Methods for Corruption Studies is a crucial resource for students and scholars of anti-corruption law, politics, public policy and sociology. It will also benefit practitioners and policymakers working in corruption prevention, providing suggestions for how research can effectively aid reform.
