What is it about?
This article explains the shortcomings of mainstream approaches to anti-corruption efforts, ranging from creating indices to anti-corruption agencies to voting. We explain that culture matters in the sense of the stickiness of informal norms, rules, and habits, and therefore a new approach is needed, one that is directed towards changing culture, not just formal rules.

This article suggests a new approach to reduce corruption.
Perspectives
I hope that this article spurs a conversation around why anti-corruption efforts have so far been very limited in success. The cases that follow in the special ed. show how much a deeper and long-term approach is needed.
