What is it about?

Counter-corruption initiatives often focus on the legal, institutional and contextual factors that facilitate corrupt behavior, but these often have only nominal effects. This book argues that instead that we should target the key individual and group drivers of corrupt behavior to seek sustainable behavioral changes.

Why is it important?

This book identifies innovative tools that target core human motivators of corruption, with descriptions of pilot tests that show how they can work in practice. Anti-corruption programs remains a priority issue around the world. Straddling theory and practice, this book is the perfect guide to what works and what does not, and will be valuable for policymakers, NGOs, development practitioners, researchers, and university courses.

Perspectives

Many anti-corruption efforts have had only a minimal effect on curbing the problem of corruption. This book explains why that is, and shows readers what works in the real world in the fight against corruption, and why.
