Abstract
Corruption studies must evolve to match the complexity of the modern world. Here, we present three main problems in corruption analysis that need to be address: the complexity of the corruption phenomenon itself and its context, the complexity of the analytical description, and the complexity of the perspectives that different disciplines bring to the table. In this regard, we argue that the interdisciplinary framework of complex systems and network science represent a promising analytical approach to move forward in this endeavor. Furthermore, current research efforts in this direction indicate the dawn of a new interdisciplinary discipline for corruption studies in the 21st century.
