In the book “Political Corruption: The Internal Enemy of Public Institutions” the authors examine the common root of individual and institutional manifestations of political corruption. Can and should political corruption be (re)defined so that a single definition can fit all electoral democracies, from the United States to Ghana? How do old categories of competitive clientelism, competitive particularism, neo-patrimonialism, state capture, and the new vocabulary- kleptocracy, enabling, institutional corruption communicate to offer a definition and taxonomy of contemporary, 21st-century political corruption? Can a common conceptual vocabulary be created? Find the answer in the dialogue between Emanuela Ceva and Maria Paola Ferretti from the Geneva Research Center for Corruption Studies, with Alina Mungiu-Pippidi, the Principal Investigator of BridgeGap.
