CORRUPTION AND NORMS Why Informal Rules Matter Edited by Ina Kubbe and Annika Engelbert POLITICAL CORRUPTION & GOVERNANCE Political Corruption and Governance Series Editors Dan Hough Centre for the Study of Corruption University of Sussex Brighton, UK Paul M. Heywood School of Politics and IR University of Nottingham Nottingham, UK This series aims to analyse the nature and scope of, as well as possible rem- edies for, political corruption. The rise to prominence over the last 20 years of corruption-related problems and of the ‘good governance’ agenda as the principal means to tackle them has led to the development of a plethora of (national and international) policy proposals, international agreements and anti-corruption programmes and initiatives. National governments, international organisations and NGOs all now claim to take very seriously the need to tackle issues of corruption. It is thus unsurpris- ing that over couple of decades, a significant body of work with a wide and varied focus has been published in academic journals and in international discussion papers This series seeks to provide a forum through which to address this growing body of literature. It invites not just in-depth single country analyses of corruption and attempts to combat it, but also com- parative studies that explore the experiences of different states (or regions) in dealing with different types of corruption. We also invite monographs that take an overtly thematic focus, analysing trends and developments in one type of corruption across either time or space, as well as theoretically informed analysis of discrete events.

It arose from the “Interdisciplinary Corruption Research Network” (https://www.icrnetwork.org/)—a network of young corruption researchers from different disciplinary, national and cultural backgrounds. We, the founding members—Annika Engelbert, Jessica Flakne, Steven Gawthorpe, Oksana Huss, Nils Köbis, Ina Kubbe, Corinna Martin, Anna Schwickerath, and Sofia Wickberg—believe that exchange and collabora- tion is paramount to foster the understanding of the complex and socially harmful phenomenon of corruption. Our vision is to reconcile varying perspectives into a constructive outlet for the progression of scientific research on corruption. Our objectives are to cultivate underdeveloped perspectives and broaden the trajectory of corruption discourse, expand collaborative opportunities across profes- sional and disciplinary boundaries, maintain independence against institu- tional constraints on membership eligibility, research, and policy priorities. The overarching goal of our program is to enhance the quality of scientific research on corruption, its sources and consequences as well as on good governance with the ambition to boost its application in the policymaking and implementation domains. We are all very grateful to Palgrave Macmillan for supporting this book project enthusiastically from the beginning, in particular the series editors Dan Hough and Paul M. Heywood, who guided us through all stages of the publication process. Moreover, we would like to thank our Advisory Board including Jean Ensminger (California Institute of Technology), Paul Heywood (University of Nottingham), Johann Graf Lambsdorff v vi PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS (University of Passau), in particular Bo Rothstein (University of Oxford)— who has accompanied us from the beginning—Luis de Sousa (University of Lisbon), Matthew C.
