The third Chapter depicts the interconnections between the two themes (bribery and anti-corruption policies, on the one hand, and the role of public controlled entities, on the other) in the Italian case. Italy turns out to be an interesting case study because, on the one hand, it is among the worst performing countries in the G7 and the EU mem...

In this study, we apply the Theory of Planned Behavior to understand the factors that explained adherence to health recommendations during the first wave of Covid-19 in Mexico City. To do this, we designed and implemented an online survey on prevention measures. In addition, we generate an empirical correlate of the Theory of Planned Behavior to hy...

We use experimental data to explore the conditions under which males and females may differ in their tendency to act corruptly and their tolerance of corruption. We ask if males and females respond differently to the tradeoff between the benefits accrued by corrupt actors versus the negative externality imposed on other people by corruption. Our fi...

Recently, Wigner distribution (WD) associated with linear canonical transforms (LCTs) is quickly becoming a promising technique for detecting linear frequency-modulated (LFM) signals corrupted with noises by establishing output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) inequality model or optimization model. Particularly, the closed-form instantaneous cross-corr...

... This is due to the belief that corruption involves putting one's personal interests ahead of the collective interest, with the collective interest in this case being either quite abstract or concrete. In an abstract sense, a group may want no corruption so that they can live under an impartial public administration or government, while in a concrete sense, corruption can visibly reduce resources earmarked for public use, such as funds required for the delivery of public services, which can be depleted by corruption (Marczell, 2018;Heather Marquette, Pavarala, & Malik, 2014;Heather Marquette & Peiffer, 2015). ...
... This is because a lack of trust in others means that the rational choice for an individual is to be corrupt, and so it is the larger group that must instill the foundations for non-corrupt behavior. Therefore, according to the collective action theory, trust or perception towards other members in the group is critical for overcoming corruption (Marczell, 2018). Collective action theory highlights the significance of intra-group trust in shaping individual decisions, but it has further contributions to offer. ...

The main purpose of this chapter is to scrutinize the role of civil society in curbing corruption in Algeria. This chapter argues that the active engagement of civil society actors in the fight against corruption is likely to promote a better balance between prevention and enforcement measures in addressing the ill-effects of corruption. Moreover, effective and engaged civil society is key to the realization of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for sustainable development SDGs. The conclusions drawn from this chapter will generate valuable insights into the issues of anti-corruption and civil society involvement in sustainable development in Algeria and other countries of similar social and cultural settings. Also, the chapter attempts to draw the attention of researchers, policy-makers, and anti-corruption professionals to the significant role of civil society in the collective efforts of combating corruption and strengthening institutional accountability in the country.
