Synopsis Gender and Corruption by : Helena Stensöta
The link between gender and corruption has been studied since the late 1990s. Debates have been heated and scholars accused of bringing forward stereotypical beliefs about women as the “fair” sex. Policy proposals for bringing more women to office have been criticized for promoting unrealistic quick-fix solutions to deeply rooted problems. This edited volume advances the knowledge surrounding the link between gender and corruption by including studies where the historical roots of corruption are linked to gender and by contextualizing the exploration of relationships, for example by distinguishing between democracies versus authoritarian states and between the electoral arena versus the administrative branch of government—the bureaucracy. Taken together, the chapters display nuances and fine-grained understandings. The book highlights that gender equality processes, rather than the exclusionary categories of “women” and “men”, should be at the forefront of analysis, and that developments strengthening the position of women vis-à-vis men affect the quality of government.

Based on focus groups and interviews with nearly 4,000 women, men, girls, and boys from 20 countries, this book explores areas that are less often studied in gender and development: gender norms and agency. It reveals how little gender norms have changed, how similar they are across countries, and how they are being challenged and contested.

Synopsis Corruption and Informal Practices in the Middle East and North Africa by : Ina Kubbe
This book investigates the pervasive problem of corruption across the Middle East and North Africa. Drawing on the specifics of the local context, the book explores how corruption in the region is actuated through informal practices that coexist and work in parallel to formal institutions. When informal practices become vehicles for corruption, they can have negative ripple effects across many aspects of society, but on the other hand, informal practices could also have the potential to be leveraged to reinforce formal institutions to help fight corruption. Drawing on a range of cases including Morocco, Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, Tunisia or Israel the book first explores the mechanisms and dynamics of corruption and informal practices in the region, before looking at the successes and failures of anti-corruption initiatives. The final section focuses on gender perspectives on corruption, which are often overlooked in corruption literature, and the role of women in the Middle East. With insights drawn from a range of disciplines, this book will be of interest to researchers and students across political science, philosophy, socio-legal studies, public administration, and Middle Eastern studies, as well as to policy makers and practitioners working in the region.

Synopsis Corruption and Norms by : Ina Kubbe
This book focuses on the role of norms in the description, explanation, prediction and combat of corruption. It conceives corruption as a ubiquitous problem, constructed by specific traditions, values, norms and institutions. The chapters concentrate on the relationship between corruption and social as well as legal norms, providing comparative perspectives from different academic disciplines, theoretical and methodological backgrounds, and various country-studies. Due to the nature of social norms that are embedded in personal, local, and organizational contexts, the contributions in the volume focus in particular on the individual and institutional level of analysis (micro and meso-mechanisms). The book will be of interest to students and scholars across the fields of political science, public administration, socio-legal studies and psychology.

Synopsis The Time Is Now by : United Nations
Are women any less corrupt than men? Is there a relationship between gender and corruption? If yes, what is it? Will more women in power change this equation for the better or worse? This publication is a first, comprehensive foray by UNODC into this complex, multi-layered subject that affects every society and country in the world differently. Therefore, the publication underlines the importance of understanding how national, cultural and social norms interact and shape corrupt practices. With the United Nations Convention against Corruption as our cornerstone, the publication highlights how many of the gender dimensions of corruption are not sufficiently addressed in national contexts. Using sexual favours as a currency of corruption is far too common, yet it is still not widely understood that this is abuse of authority. And victim-centred whistleblowing mechanisms remain exceptional. However, there are also inspiring good practices which break the mould, such as tackling unconscious gender bias in the courts to strengthen judicial integrity and ensure equality before the law. The publication examines the evolution and relevance of the key international instruments, and emphasises the importance of evidence-based policy making. It also explores how gender equality policies can have a positive effect in preventing and countering corruption and, vice versa. Finally, the publication illustrates three country-specific case studies from Brazil, Ghana and Indonesia, each demonstrating the country's contextual anti-corruption landscape while focusing on unique gender narratives and intersections. The time is now to address the gender dimensions of corruption. For if not now, then when?
