Historical insights into modern corruption: Descriptive moralities and cooperative corruption in an Indian city.
Griffith Law Review, 25.
pp. 1-17.
| Abstract: |
Much of the debate on the relationship between social norms and
corruption has been confined to comparisons across countries.
But a gap between what is morally acceptable by a society and
what is legally correct can exist within individual countries as well.
In such cases, it is possible for individual acts of corruption to be
seen to be morally justified. This paper explores the emergence of
this gap through the imposition of British law on a very different
descriptive morality in nineteenth century Indian city of
Bengaluru. Drawing from this experience it seeks to identify the
dynamics of the process in a way that would allow for it to be
used to understand corruption across different societies, and the
lessons it has for an effective strategy against endemic corruption. |
