Description: "Examining the institutional foundations of corrupt transactions, this book provides a new perspective towards the analysis of corrupt behaviour as well as the design of anti-corruption policies. It does so by identifying institutions that may facilitate corruption, such as particularistic trust, social norms that foster reciprocity, intermediaries, hierarchies and network-type organizations." "With an international troop of contributors, this book will impress academies with an interest in institutional economics, sociology and corruption. It will also prove to be a useful addition to policy-makers in the sphere of fighting corruption."--Jacket.
