Book Synopsis Corruption in the MENA Region by : Dina Elsayed
Download or read book Corruption in the MENA Region written by Dina Elsayed. This book was released on 2021. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the causes of corruption in the Middle East and North Africa through a systematic cross-national comparative analysis of fifteen countries in the region. It aims to explain causal relationships between corruption and differences in political and socio-economic dimensions within these different countries over the period 1999-2010. The countries are grouped together into three sub-regions (the Gulf region, North Africa, and Mashreq plus Yemen). The author finds that the main variables that showed robustness in impacting the intensity of corruption are the rule of law, quality of regulations, and trade openness. Poverty rates and income inequality have been clear triggers for petty corruption. Meanwhile, natural resources endowments have shown less of an impact on the levels of corruption, and similarly women's empowerment has not been found to be a strong indicator. Dina Elsayed is Assistant Professor of Political Science, Egypt. She obtained her doctorate degree from the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany. Her research focuses on comparative politics, corruption and governance in the MENA region.

Book Synopsis Corruption in a Cross-National Perspective by : Cyrus M. Maweu
Download or read book Corruption in a Cross-National Perspective written by Cyrus M. Maweu. This book was released on 2014-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corruption is manifested differently inter alia through bribery, abuse of office and embezzlement. The prevalence of the vice globally results in reduced access to basic services and diversion of resources from investments in infrastructure, institutions and social services among others. The East African region (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi) scores low on the war against corruption. The causes of corruption in the five states are almost similar with high level of discretion coupled with weak control mechanisms and lack of sufficient political good will among duty bearers compromising the war against corruption. Success in combating corruption will thus largely depend on the quality of governance and the level of effectiveness, efficiency and equity in resource generation, allocation and management. This study is highly recommended to researchers and practitioners interested in the fight against corruption

Book excerpt: This collection of articles offers a comprehensive assessment of the subtle but nevertheless pervasive economic infrastructure of corruption.

American Society of International Law This exhaustive collection, edited by Rose-Ackerman, cannot be called anything but excellent. . . . Overall, a wonderful addition to the literature. Highly recommended. C.J. Talele, Choice Susan Rose-Ackerman is a world-class economist and an authority on the economics of corruption. This is a fine reference volume that every economist interested in this important subject will want to have as a ready reference. Jagdish Bhagwati, Columbia University, US Economic research on corruption aims both to isolate the economic effects of quid pro quo deals between agents and third parties, and to suggest how legal and institutional reforms might curb harms and enhance benefits. In this comprehensive Handbook, top scholars in the field provide specially commissioned essays, both theoretical and empirical, exploring both types of research. The Handbook begins with an introductory essay by the editor, followed by two chapters written by leading exponents of cross-country research. However, the focus of the Handbook is on research at the micro level, where policy can be made and evaluated. These microeconomic studies fall into several overlapping categories. The first group includes studies that link corrupt incentives to institutional structures, particularly the organization of the state. The second draws implications from surveys of households or businesses and from controlled experiments. The third concentrates on particular sectors such as education, tax administration, public works, customs services, and pharmaceuticals. Finally, two chapters assess corruption in the transition away from socialism in Europe and Asia.
