‘Both the editors and contributors of this Handbook have done an outstanding job not only bringing together an impressive set of contributions providing a comprehensive overview of the field of gender and corruption in democracies but also mapping the way forward for gender and politics scholars. Moreover, the methodological diversity and the inclusion of cases beyond Western democracies make this Handbook a must-read for a wide variety of scholars and policy practitioners.’
