Description
Summary:Scholarship about the relationship between gender and perceptions of corruption has increased and consolidated, especially in recent years. Yet, there have been few comprehensive assessments of what research has learned about the influence of gender on perception of corruption. The material gathered in this paper provides a rich and diverse context for understanding the nexus of gender and corruption, the role of good governance both for gender equality and fighting corruption, and the relationship between the level of corruption and women’s participation. This paper discusses the major trends in scholarship about gender differences in corruption, gender-sensitive anticorruption strategies, and gender differentials in tolerance for corruption.
