This also applied of course to Ancient Rome; in both the Republic and Principate lawgivers tried to define the limits of acceptable transfers and thus also to identify what we might call ‘corruption’. Yet, such definitions remained to a large extent blurred, and what was constructed was mostly a ‘code of conduct’, allowing Roman politicians to perform their own ‘honesty’ in public duty – while being aware at all times that their involvement in different kinds of transfer might be used by their opponents against them and presented as a case of ‘corrupt’ behaviour.

Más allá de un acercamiento reduccionista u objetivista a lugares comunes de la corrupción política, o a delitos tipificados por la ley, esta contribución pretende destacar la relevancia del análisis histórico del discurso en el estudio del tema. Este enfoque nos permite reconstruir contextos en los que se identifica la corrupción, así como analizar relatos, no siempre unánimes, sobre estas prácticas. El trabajo se adentra en una época lejana, pero a la vez cercana a nuestro tiempo, el último siglo la República romana. La evidencia nos permite evaluar críticamente aspectos fundamentales de la construcción retórica de la corrupción y de sus zonas grises, como la distinción, a menudo borrosa, entre regalo y soborno. N2 - The article analyses corruption as a complex, often ambiguous, phenomenon linked to individual and collective behaviors and mentalities that are perceived as illegitimate or immoral, and thus as deviated from established norms. Beyond reductionist and objectivist approaches to common places of political corruption, or to typified criminal acts, this contribution seeks to highlight the importance of historical discourse analysis for the study of the topic. This approach permits to reconstruct contexts in which corruption is identified, as well as analyse multisided discourses about such practices. This piece proposes an insight into a remote period, yet in some respects also close to us, the last century of the Roman Republic. The available evidence allows to critically evaluate fundamental aspects of the rhetoric construction of corruption and its grey -zones, such as the sometimes - blurred distinction between gift and bribery.

ED - Schenck, Marcia C. ED - Njung, George N. T1 - A different class of refugee: university scholarships and developmentalism in late 1960s Africa JF - Africa Today N2 - Using documents assembled in connection with the 1967 Conference on the Legal, Economic and Social Aspects of African Refugee Problems, this article discusses African refugee higher-education discourses in the 1960s at the level of international organizations, volunteer agencies, and government representatives. Education and development history have recently been studied together, but this article focuses on the history of refugee higher education, which, it argues, needs to be understood within the development framework of human-capital theory, meant to support political pan African concerns for a decolonized continent and merged with humanitarian arguments to create a hybrid form of humanitarian developmentalism. The article zooms in on higher-education scholarships, above all for refugees from Southern Africa, as a means of support for human-capital development. It shows that refugee higher education was both a result and a driver of increased international exchanges, as evidenced at the 1967 conference.
