Recently, Steven Daka, a Zambian scholar with an MSc in Public Management from the University of Electronic Science and Technology, China, contributed to the chapter titled "Causes & Consequences of corruption in Zambia" in the groundbreaking book, Deconstructing Corruption in Africa: A Routledge Taylor & Francis Group Publication on Corruption and Anti-Corruption Studies. This chapter delves into the complex dynamics of corruption in Zambia, examining its historical roots, underlying causes, and far-reaching consequences. By employing a multidisciplinary approach, he analyzes the systemic nature of corruption and its impact on various aspects of Zambian society, including service delivery, economic growth, and institutional trust.

The book, Deconstructing Corruption in Africa, offers a comprehensive overview of corruption-related issues across the continent. It challenges the prevailing Western-centric perspectives on corruption and advocates for a more context-specific and indigenous approach. By examining corruption through a comparative lens, the book highlights regional variations, historical antecedents, and contemporary trends. It also provides practical recommendations for addressing corruption challenges in Africa.

This publication is essential for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners working in the fields of political science, public administration, economics, and corruption studies. It offers valuable insights into the complexities of corruption in Africa and provides a foundation for developing effective anti-corruption strategies.
