There are a lot of papers about the corruption issues related the marketization in china since 1990s. however, relatively few papers or books focus on the causes, processes and consequences of corruption related to the rapid urbanization since 2000s.
I would like to know whether there is a serious corruption problem in other countries during their processes of urbanization? how do they deal with corruption?
thank you.
Yimin-
You may want to check out the research of a colleague named Harvey Molotch from NYC, who has written on the hegemony of "growth machines" within urban development scenarios. He is well-cited, and the topic is interesting. Good luck!

Hi Yimin,
There has been a lot of work on this question relevant to China and India. For China, you might look at the following:
Fang, Ke and Yan Zhang. 2003. "Plan and Market Mismatch: Urban Redevelopment in Beijing During a Period of Transition." Asia Pacific Viewpoint 44(2):149-62. doi: 10.1111/1467-8373.00190. [this builds on the Molotch Growth Machine cited above]
Zhang, Yan and Ke Fang. 2003. "Politics of Housing Redevelopment in China: The Rise and Fall of the Ju'er Hutong Project in Inner-City Beijing." Journal of Housing and the Built Environment 18(1):75-87. doi: 10.1023/a:1022458906325.
Zhang, Yan and Ke Fang. 2004. "Is History Repeating Itself?". Journal of Planning Education and Research 23(3):286-98. doi: 10.1177/0739456x03261287.
Generally, you should review:
Moore, Mick. 2004. "Revenues, State Formation, and the Quality of Governance in Developing Countries." International Political Science Review/ Revue internationale de science pol 25(3):297-319. doi: 10.1177/0192512104043018.
For India, you might look at the politics of electricity and voting....
Hope this helps.
