👉 Corruption research examines the multifaceted nature of corrupt practices, their impact on societies, and the mechanisms that enable or prevent them. It involves analyzing how corruption manifests in various sectors, such as politics, business, and public administration, often through case studies, statistical data, and qualitative interviews. Researchers identify key drivers of corruption, including weak governance, lack of transparency, and inadequate legal frameworks, while also exploring preventive measures like anti-corruption laws, whistleblower protections, and civic engagement. This field aims to inform policy reforms and promote accountability, ultimately striving to reduce the pervasive negative effects of corruption on economic development, social equity, and democratic institutions.
