Due to its characteristics corruption has to be approached assuming a multi-perspective view. We believe that corruption ha to be studies assuming that this is multi-perspective and multi-disciplinary. We support the idea that governance perspective has to be considered central and innovative. The multi-disciplinary perspective wasn't completely explored in order to comprehend how the corruption phenomenon works and which consequences it is able to determine. Our study aims to stimulate the debate on the link between governance and the phenomenon of corruption as an illness affecting our capitalistic societies in many respects.
