Corruption is a pervasive issue that poses significant challenges on a global scale. It is consistently ranked as one of the foremost global concerns, as its detrimental effects on poverty, social unrest, and peace hinder the establishment of harmonious and just societies. Despite its profound impact, corruption has not received the attention it deserves in the realm of global justice. In her book, Corruption and Global Justice, author Gillian Brock provides a normatively grounded account of how responsibilities for combating corruption should be distributed among the various agents involved. To effectively address this issue, it is crucial to comprehend the diverse manifestations of corruption, the risks associated with different activities, the interventions that yield successful outcomes, and the existing policy and legal frameworks in place. Brock also presents a novel framework for navigating responsibility to address injustice, emphasizing an action-oriented and forward-looking approach. By adopting an agent-empowering approach and harnessing the power of collective action, Corruption and Global Justice addresses a critical global problem comprehensively, equipping us with the necessary tools for progress as we unite in our efforts to combat this pervasive scourge.
