Salient characteristics of corruption gleaned from the definition are stated and their significance explained, e.g., that the public/private distinction is presupposed in the definition. Why misconduct in the use of discretion can be rational, and why it should be called “corruption” are explained. Based on a better understanding of why the public/private distinction is necessary for governance based on public interest, further understanding of the situational rationality of corruption and measures necessary for combating corruption are discussed. Through this exercise, the philosophical underpinnings of the nature of corruption as well as the method for identifying drivers of and remedies to corruption are elucidated., Special Issue on Institution Design for Conflict Resolution and Negotiation : Theory and Praxis (February 1-2, 2014, Nagoya, Japan)}, pages = {217--235}, title = {Putting Corruption in Context : The philosophical underpinnings of the nature, drivers of and remedies to corruption}, volume = {258}, year = {2014} }
