Corruption definitions and their implications for targeting natural resource corruption

This Brief addresses how understandings of corruption have changed over time, particularly focusing on the practical implications of definitions for how we address corruption. It provides conservation and NRM practitioners with a short overview of the range of corruption definitions that they may encounter and underlines how our place in and view of the world (referred to as "positionality") shapes our understanding of corruption challenges, as well as the anti-corruption responses we formulate and implement.
