Governance and corruption issues have taken the center stage in international discussions, especially after the adoption by the IMF in 2018 of a new framework for engagement on governance and corruption. Sound institutions that guarantee integrity in the management of public affairs are critical on the path toward higher and more inclusive growth. Corruption undermines the quality of institutions, weakens the effectiveness of government programs, and compromises social trust in government policies. Indeed, countries around the world that improved their governance systems are reaping a "governance dividend," and governance-enhancing reformist countries in sub-Saharan Africa include Botswana, Rwanda, and Seychelles. In addition, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Angola demonstrate that important reforms are possible, including in fragile environments. The importance of good governance has acquired even more importance as countries try to introduce policies to fight the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Special attention to governance in an emergency context, including situations associated with conflict, other health crises and natural disasters, is therefore essential. Innovation and new technologies are critical instruments that policymakers can use in their efforts to improve governance and transparency.

« Pratique sociale très répandue dont la définition reste pourtant délicate, la corruption est devenue tardivement un objet d'étude pour les sociologues, les anthropologues, les économistes et les juristes. Quels sont les effets, positifs ou négatifs, de cet échange inégal entre des protagonistes privés et/ou publics ? Et peut-on déterminer les causes socioculturelles ou institutionnelles à l'origine de ces comportements ? Quels sont les avantages recherchés par les acteurs ? Comment le public réagit-il face à la médiatisation des affaires de corruption ? Enfin, quels sont les instruments déployés à l'échelle internationale pour lutter contre ces agissements ? Les réponses théoriques et empiriques des sciences sociales à ces interrogations éclairent un sujet auquel les citoyens à la recherche d'informations fiables portent une attention croissante. »--Quatrième de couverture.

The Ambivalence of Power in the Twenty-First Century Economy contributes to the understanding of the ambivalent nature of power, oscillating between conflict and cooperation, public and private, global and local, formal and informal, and does so from an empirical perspective. It offers a collection of country-based cases, as well as critically assesses the existing conceptions of power from a cross-disciplinary perspective. The diverse analyses of power at the macro, meso or micro levels allow the volume to highlight the complexity of political economy in the twenty-first century. Each chapter addresses key elements of that political economy (from the ambivalence of the cases of former communist countries that do not conform with the grand narratives about democracy and markets, to the dual utility of new technologies such as face-recognition), thus providing mounting evidence for the centrality of an understanding of ambivalence in the analysis of power, especially in the modern state power-driven capitalism. Anchored in economic sociology and political economy, this volume aims to make 'visible' the dimensions of power embedded in economic practices. The chapters are predominantly based on post-communist practices, but this divergent experience is relevant to comparative studies of how power and economy are interrelated.
