Despite the implementation of numerous anti-corruption strategies, fighting corruption is far from over. This chapter researches what elements are missing in the systematic study of corruption, and aims to improve existing corruption research strategies. It argues that (somewhat surprisingly) the current state of corruption research does not take social and cultural components sufficiently into consideration. Building upon existing research (i.e. Corruption Perception Index, World Bank’s Guide) I have developed a new model that could help identify corruption. To do this, I propose a social constructivist approach, enabling me to highlight the social and cultural aspects of corruption. This study is designed for researchers on transparency and corruption and functions as a discussion tool in how to explore the concept in a new and innovative fashion. Finally, it also serves as a thought-provoking impulse for organisations and agencies committed to measuring and combating corruption.
