Chapter Chapter 1 in Anti-Corruption Evidence, 2020, pp 1-33 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The theories that guided the research are drawn from the literature on corruption, accountability, and parliamentary oversight from the institutionalist school of thought, especially the rational choice, historical, and sociological sub-schools. The research design utilized a mixed methodology, involving both quantitative and qualitative elements, and a mixed fixed/flexible research design; this approach follows Lieberman (Am Political Sci Rev 99(3):435–52, 2005). Data was collected through literature review and document search complemented by key informant interviews which included closed and open-ended questions.
