Corruption is a global issue that policy scholars categorize as a wicked problem?it is unstructured, cross-cutting, and relentless. On a macro scale corruption can undermine entire nations, on a micro scale it can produce hardships and perpetuates structural inequities. Corruption, Policy, and the Law asks how Legal Studies should try to understand the problem and how the law should address the individual behaviors that constitute the motive force that drives the process of equitable systems declining into corruption.
