TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a brief personal reflection on developments in the field of critical corruption studies and reveal some of the limitations of the mainstream approach towards corruption and provide a context-setting narrative within which the other papers that comprise this special issue can be found.

TL;DR: The authors explored the limitations of the dominant neoliberal perspective on governance and institutional reform, with a particular focus upon anti-corruption initiatives. But they focused on the socio-political reality of a specific political culture/system, in this case that of post-revolutionary Nicaragua.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors set out an agenda for promoting collaboration between researchers in critical geography and critical management studies, and explored the opportunities for collaboration in more specific detail through consideration of the ongoing attempts to develop a new perspective on the current international pre-occupation with corruption and anti-corruption initiatives, which is both critical and multi-disciplinary.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the ongoing debates about corporate involvement in UK universities and the broader marketization of the higher education sector of which it is but part, and consider whether higher education institutions might also be conceptualized as corporations in their own right and whether the current preoccupation with ideas of corporate social responsibility might have any progressive potential for those of us interested in addressing the operating principles and practices of the institutions where we work.
