About The Book
Corruption in the Global Era by Lorenzo Pasculli provides an interdisciplinary analysis of corruption as a global phenomenon, exploring its causes, means of perpetration, and far-reaching effects. The book examines the rapid globalization of corrupt practices, highlighted by high-profile scandals such as the Panama Papers, the FIFA scandals, and the Petrobras case in Brazil. Despite the growing scale of corruption, empirical evidence remains limited, and there is still a gap in the collaboration between academia and practitioners.

This work brings together top experts from a variety of fields—including criminology, economics, finance, law, legal ethics, journalism, and philosophy—to offer a comprehensive understanding of corruption's multifaceted nature in the global context. Theoretical frameworks developed by scholars are complemented by practical insider accounts from professionals in areas such as banking, finance, and the media. Furthermore, the book addresses the expanding connections between corruption and other global crimes, such as money laundering, fraud, and human trafficking.

This book is an invaluable resource for researchers, academics, students, and professionals in fields such as law, criminology, sociology, economics, and ethics. It provides essential insights for solicitors, barristers, businesspeople, and public servants interested in understanding and tackling the global challenges posed by corruption.
