Abstract

Corruption is one of the most disturbing issues of contemporary social development. Administrative corruption questions the capability of a state to deal efficiently with the challenges it is facing. Political corruption makes the democratic process vulnerable to manipulation and abuse. Business corruption threatens competitiveness and undermines efficiency of the national economy. Overall, the states having high level of corruption are less competitive in the international arena. This course is devoted to the in-depth interdisciplinary analysis of corruption phenomenon and anti-corruption policy making and implementation. It provides both theoretical and practical perspectives on anti-corruption policy. It covers the perspectives of the society, the state, and the business; compares and contrasts the western and non-western cultural perspectives; and critically evaluates the experience from different parts of the world to demonstrate the complexity and the main anti-corruption policy challenges. The course is based on interactive teaching and groupwork case study.
