商品描述

This monograph explores the nature of corruption around the world from a geographic perspective. It focuses on historical context and cultural factors. Readers will learn that though corruption is pervasive, geography greatly shapes its character. This book will offer a better understanding of the level of corrupt activity in any given country.

The book analyzes an array of countries and regions. Coverage ranges from democratic societies, where corruption is low due to high rates of literacy and a free press, to the most corrupt places, where centralized power structures and lack of a free media allow corruption to unfold unimpeded. Anti-corruption campaigns and their effectiveness are also reflected upon. In addition to data from Transparency International, the text examines relevant political events. In each case, the analysis focuses on the major actors and institutions involved; the cultural norms that often regard corruption as a normal part of doing business; and the attempts by foreign and domestic actors to minimize corruption.

This book will help readers better understand the causes and consequences of corruption, as well as its type and severity varies widely across the planet. It will appeal to students, researchers, policy makers, and interested general readers.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本專著從地理的角度探討了全球腐敗的本質。它專注於歷史背景和文化因素。讀者將了解到，儘管腐敗無處不在，但地理環境在很大程度上塑造了其特徵。本書將提供對任何特定國家腐敗活動水平的更深入理解。

本書分析了一系列國家和地區。涵蓋範圍從民主社會，在這裡由於高識字率和自由媒體，腐敗程度較低；到最腐敗的地方，在這裡集中的權力結構和缺乏自由媒體使腐敗得以不受阻礙地展開。反腐敗運動及其有效性也受到反思。除了來自透明國際（Transparency International）的數據外，文本還檢視了相關的政治事件。在每個案例中，分析重點放在主要的行為者和相關機構；經常將腐敗視為商業正常一部分的文化規範；以及外國和本國行為者減少腐敗的嘗試。

這本書將幫助讀者更好地理解腐敗的原因和後果，以及其類型和嚴重程度在全球範圍內的廣泛變化。它將吸引學生、研究人員、政策制定者和感興趣的一般讀者。
