What is Corruption: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) about?

It is thought to be one of the principal causes of poverty around the globe. Its significance in the contemporary world cannot be undervalued.In this Very Short Introduction Leslie Holmes considers why the international community has only highlighted corruption as a problem in the past two decades, despite its presence throughout the millennia.

Providing evidence of corruption and considering ways to address it around the world, this is an important introduction to a significant and serious global issue.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.
