Book Outline
The study of corruption and the environment is a relatively new subfield of corruption studies, but one that is attracting growing attention. Existing scholarship provides important insights of the correlations between corruption and environmental outcomes, with profound implications for human security and the future wellbeing of populations. Yet empirical investigation of the causal pathways connecting corruption with environmental destruction is still in its infancy. Explicit multi-disciplinary, transboundary, and historical studies are often lacking, while the theoretical and conceptual apparatuses used to study corruption and the environment are fragmented and underdeveloped. There has been a tendency to consider the endogenous origins of corruption in African, Asian, and Latin American settings, to the detriment of exogenous transboundary factors and the study of Western contexts.
