>> Summary
During the last decade corruption has become a highly topical international and development policy issue. It has also become a meeting place for research pursued by different academic disciplines. The amount of research into corruption has expanded rapidly, taking many different directions. The following report is a fairly extensive survey of parts of this research literature. The academic emphasis has been on economics, but both political science and social anthropology perspectives are included. The presentation is mostly non-technical, but a few expositions of more analytically demanding matters are included. Relevance for development policy is the underlying guide for the issue choices within the corruption field. The report should be useful for inter-disciplinary oriented students and journalists interested in development issues, as well as for public and private officials working with foreign aid issues.
