Davide Torsello, Professor of Anthropology and Organizational Behavior, Central European University, Vienna, Austria and Director, Global Institute for the Study of Ethics and Integrity

Based on twelve years of research on corruption across the globe, this book presents four case studies which illustrate the cultural, cognitive, and social implications of corruption. With diverse approaches and empirical case studies, it examines the socio-institutional, organizational, and cognitive-hermeneutical aspects of the cultural theory model of corruption.
