This series aims to analyze the nature and scope of, as well as possible remedies for,
political corruption. The rise to prominence over the past 15 years of corruption-
related problems and of the ‘good governance’ agenda as the principal means to
tackle them has led to the development of a plethora of national and interna-
tional policy proposals, international agreements, and anti-corruption programs
and initiatives. National governments, international organizations, and NGOs all
now claim to take very seriously the need to tackle issues of corruption. It is thus
unsurprising that over the past decade and a half, a significant body of work with
a wide and varied focus has been published in academic journals and in interna-
tional discussion papers.
This series seeks to provide a forum through which to address this growing body
of literature. It will invite not just in-depth, single-country analyses of corruption
and attempts to combat it, but also comparative studies that explore the experi-
ences of different states (or regions) in dealing with different types of corruption.
We also invite monographs that take an overtly thematic focus, analyzing trends
and developments in one type of corruption across either time or space, as well
as theoretically informed analysis of discrete events.

Introduction
The Center for Integrity in Business and Government at the Central
European University (CEU) Business School is coordinating a major
international project on developing innovative teaching materials in
the field of integrity and anti-corruption. As a first step, the Center is
preparing an Integrity Curriculum Framework (ICF). The main aim of
the ICF is to develop an educational curriculum in business integrity
that focuses on the regional needs and specificities of Eastern Europe
and the former Soviet Union bloc. The ICF is organized in a modular
structure that ensures instructors the flexibility and, at the same time,
quality of the content of teaching modules on integrity. Two ration-
ales have justified the choice of a modular outline. First, in order to
cover as much as possible the different topics that make up the complex
fields of integrity and corruption, the adoption of a series of modules,
arranged as core courses and electives, has been seen as the optimal solu-
tion. Second, the regional cut of ICF, focusing on Eastern Europe and
the former Soviet bloc, has requested to reach a satisfactory degree of
regionalization of case studies and literature specialization. This could
be, again, best achieved only through a modular system.
The points that need to be made before introducing the structure
itself are: first, literature on corruption and integrity in business in the
Eastern European and Central Asian regions is scattered and still scarce,
particularly that of case studies. The way to overcome this shortage is
by concentrating a comprehensive list of case studies on these regions.
Second, most of the specialized literature on corruption in business
focuses on the consequences of corruption, or deals with corruption
as a phenomenon that is either related to the immoral practices of
company members or officers, or on the corruptive character of a
specific market in general. Sometimes detailed cases of how corruption
