Description
Summary:This article offers an introduction to both the state of corruption in Vietnam and how the research community is taking on an active role to support policymaking. It begins by contextualising corruption since Doi Moi, explaining that high corruption levels has opened the door to interest groups, and therefore to corruption. The article then discusses the different ways research helps us develop a better understanding of corruption, both through more traditional as well as innovative measurement techniques. The article reviews some of the more important literature on corruption, including its costs, and discusses the different methodologies and approaches employed to study and measure corruption. The article concludes by providing a short overview of how the corruption research community is organised, and then goes on to introducing this Special Issue.
