“…It should also be noted that in the western neo-colonialist understanding of "corruption" there is disagreement as to the causes of social and economic demise, so that corruption is not necessarily the main cause [71]. Some researchers such as Khan [72], disagree with the notion that corruption compromises economic development at all.

There is much evidence to support the notion that inspirational leadership is inextricably crucial for the functioning of any organization, either in the private or public sector, which is bent on operating as a goal-oriented body within which various individuals work under the coordination of an ethically oriented leader. The paper unpacks African Ethics and how a loss of virtue in leadership in both the public and private sectors, has led to corruption with its hugely negative impacts on society. The paper highlights theoretical conceptions and potential practical actualizations of ethical practice. Recommendations and suggestions are made as to what can be done to mitigate unethical practices such as corruption with its corrosive effect on life in general.

The dissertation explores corruption in Romania during its transition from communism to democracy as well as the European Union's (EU) efforts to curtail it and their consequences. It applies a theoretical framework that draws insight from three literatures: those relating to rentseeking and corruption, the EU accession process and path-dependence. The dissertation demonstrates that corrupt practices in post-communist Romania are embedded in clientelistic structures originating in communist-era patron-client relations. The dissertation examines the incentives and opportunities that underpin corruption and the mechanisms for curbing it in three distinct periods: post-transition, pre-EU and post-EU accession. In that process, the author identifies and analyzes the range of endogenous and
