RT Article T1 Corruption in China’s economic reform: a review of recent observations and explanations JF Crime, law and social change VO 50 IS 3 SP 161 OP 176 A1 Yu, Olivia LA English YR 2008 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1881724115 AB Corruption is a universal phenomenon of public institutions. It is markedly more pervasive in developing and transitional societies. China, with rapid economic growth for two decades, has been deeply troubled by the problem of official corruption at all levels in the public sector. The paper reviews the literature in the last 15 years which examines Chinese corruption from either a theoretical or empirical approach, by qualitative or quantitative methods in observation. Based on more than 30 studies with a focus on the related topic, the review covers issues of Chinese corruption data and statistics, theoretical explanations and China’s strategies of fighting corruption as well as critique.
