Corrupt Britain, 1st ed. 2023 Public Ethics in Practice and Thought Since the Magna Carta Palgrave Studies in Urban Anthropology Series
Auteur : Jones Peter
This book deploys a long-term account of political corruption in Britain to explain the phenomenon of corruption as it resides within the state and the contemporary problem of corruption denial among members of the political class. It aims to satisfy the concern about corruption and identify potential causes and significance. The book provides and account of definitions of corruption and how those definitions have changed over time. Throughout the succeeding chapters it discusses public life and how ethical considerations for public office holders have evolved over time. This book argues that corruption is not just a concern about politics and understanding corruption requires a multi-disciplinary approach: history; political science; sociology; anthropology and urban ethnography.
Peter Jones is Honorary Fellow at the Center for Urban History at the University of Leicester, UK.
