Corruption and fast change: Shifting modes of micro-coordination
Jens Chr. Andvig
[Abstract] The paper studies the effects on corruption of having coexisting, contradictory norms for allocating different micro- coordination modes across society. One important reason for their coexistence is fast change, and links to Huntingtons classical analysis of corruption are worked out. The notion of microcoordination mode is exposed and its usefulness for explaining corruption is argued through examples. The examples outlined are corruption in land allocation in Kenya, the economic transition in post-communist countries and the global telecommunications industry.
