Nielsen RP 2003. Corruption networks and implications for ethical corruption reform. Journal of business
ethics 42(2): 125–149
This paper focuses on the systematic, pervasive sub-system of corruption that can and has existed
across historical periods, geographic areas, and political-economic systems. It is important to first
understand how corrupt and unethical subsystems operate, particularly their network nature, in order
to reform and change them while not becoming what we are trying to change. Twelve key system
elements are considered that include case examples from Asia, Latin America, the Mediterranean,
and North America. A key operating feature of corruption sub-systems is that they are relatively stable
networks rather than exceptional, independent, individual events. Drawing on social network, social
movement, and action-learning theories, six theory building propositions concerning ethical corruption
reform are developed.
