Abstract:This paper fills in the gap between fanfare media coverage of women in corruption and the ignorance of gender in academic research on corruption in China. We ask relevance of gender in corruption and explore whether corruption should be understood as a gendered problem and to what extent. The paper first presents some case evidences of corruption involving women and outline three forms of female participation in corruption. Based on the empirics from China, the paper introduces and proposes various theories and deliberates on the relevance of these theories in explaining and understanding the role of gender in corruption in China.
