ABSTRACT

In this chapter, we offer our concluding remarks, bringing together the main empirical and theoretical findings from previous chapters and discuss them in relation to existing scholarly explanations for and conceptual approaches to (anti)corruption. We summarise and situate our key points, the empirical and theoretical contributions from this study to (anti)corruption debates, and potential avenues for future research. We place the distinct theoretical framework (a hybrid compliance model for studying (anti)corruption in authoritarian regimes) developed in the Uzbek context in the broader corruption literature and socio-legal studies, and discuss its relevance and applicability to the study of (anti)corruption in similar socio-legal contexts.
