<![CDATA[Corruption is a significant obstacle to sustainable development, weakening governance and public trust while deepening poverty and inequality. This paper examines global views on fighting corruption in all its forms through the lens of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The findings indicate an increasing academic interest in the relationship between corruption and sustainable development, with notable contributions from the UK, the US, and South Africa.
