Building upon the body of existing literature that has established the importance of norms in understanding why genders interact with social phenomena differently, and how gender plays a role in most aspects of corruption, this cutting-edge book expands the fields to explore the nexus between norms, gender and corruption.

‘I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the complex relationship between gender equality, corruption and good governance. It clearly shows that the inclusion of women in positions of power is no “quick fix” to reduced levels of corruption. The chapters give new insights on how social and political norms specify the room open for women to maneuver in society.’

‘This excellent collection is a much-needed inquiry into still relatively unexplored debates around gender and corruption. Spanning many countries and different types of corruption, and furthering conceptual clarity as well as offering empirical case studies, the book is a must-read for anti-corruption scholars and practitioners.'
– Elizabeth David-Barrett, University of Sussex, UK
