Providing an authoritative global overview of theoretical and empirical research in the field, this Handbook explores the complex relationship between gender and corruption in democracies. Through an analysis of the gendered dynamics of corruption across institutions, it advances understanding of both its causes and consequences.

Expert authors examine core concepts in the study of corruption, identifying important areas where gender is often overlooked. They investigate key issues such as anti-corruption efforts, sextortion, clientelism, and the perception of corruption. Chapters detail the relationship between gender and corruption across branches of government and in a wide range of cultural contexts, including those beyond the West. The Handbook also assesses methodological challenges and ethical considerations for researchers and outlines innovative approaches and guidelines for studying corruption.

The Handbook on Gender and Corruption in Democracies is a vital read for students and scholars of political science, regulation and governance, public administration and management, and gender politics. It is also an illuminating resource for policy-makers seeking to combat corruption and advance women's representation and access to public services.
