title = "Civil Society Perspectives on Corruption and Human Rights: the case of Papua New Guinea",
abstract = "Drawing on data from the International State Crime Initiative's project {"}State Crime and Resistance: A Comparative Study on Civil Society{"} this chapter explores the definitional ambiguities surrounding corruption and its relationship to human rights. It shows that while Papua New Guinea notoriously experiences a great deal of unequivocally corrupt behaviour, the NGO activists interviewed expressed more concern about behaviour in the {"}grey area{"} between corruption and legitimate economic and political behaviour. It argues that the relations between economic and political power that threaten human rights are not limited to those conventionally defined as {"}corrupt{"}.",
