Linking Cultural Dimensions with the Nature of Corruption

Chapter Chapter 7 in Development Corruption in South Africa, 2014, pp 163-183 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the earlier chapters, it was noted that a search for a definition of corruption has long been a feature of conceptual and political analyses of the subject. Over the years, various conceptual analyses have been derived from the work of scholars such as Friedrich (1989), Huntington (1989), and Nye (1989). More recently, traditional conceptions that focused on the “moral vitality” of whole societies have given way to definitions based on “behavior classification,” in which specific actions of a nation are measured against a variety of standards. This modern approach to a definition of the corruption is more specific, but it has not settled the question of how the nature of corruption is linked to national culture.
