FHEQ Level 7 (Masters)
Module Outline
This module analyses the wide and diverse set of anti-corruption approaches, procedures, mechanisms and policies that have been developed by governments, international organisations and interest groups. It analyses the nexus between quality of governance and (un)successful anti-corruption strategies. It co-ordinates theoretical insight from a range of disciplines with a range of practical examples. The student will learn to critically evaluate anti-corrption regimes - and the polices they promote - and the motives that lie behind their creation. The student will also learn to critically assess which type of anti-corruption regime is likely to be successful in which particular context.
