Open access book release: Discourses on Corruption: Interdisciplinary and Intercultural Perspectives
We are pleased to announce the release of the latest edited volume in our ICAS:MP Sage Series : “Politics and Society in India and the Global South“. The book is titled: Discourses on Corruption: Interdisciplinary and Intercultural Perspectives.
The editors are members of our thematic module on Normative Conflicts and Transformations:
Kalpana Kannabiran, Independent Sociologist and Lawyer, Hyderabad, India
Florian F. Hoffmann, Professor of Law – Department of Law, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio)
Bettina Hollstein, Managing Director, Max Weber Centre for Advanced Cultural and Social Studies, University of Erfurt
Through different case studies, the volume investigates corruption in the Global South (with a focus on India and Brazil) and the West (especially Switzerland) to gain a more nuanced view of the phenomenon. The essays in this volume are organised into two parts: the first part covers conceptual questions related to corruption discourses from different perspectives (such as economic ethics, social capital theory and literature); the second part details the complexity and diversity of corruption practices within countries and between countries and regions, providing different interpretative frameworks, which in turn flow into discourses on corruption.
