Where Corruption Lives SYNOPSIS
Where Corruption Lives presents an up to date and comprehensive global survey of the presence of official corruption in governance. It links theoretical perspectives to common practices throughout the world, examining liberal democracies with relatively clean governance and autocracies where corruption is institutionalized.
The contributors explore initiatives being taken by national governments and international organizations to combat and reduce corrupt practices, and assess their chances of success.
No comparable study of official corruption exists, making this book essential reading for students of comparative politics, public administration, and public ethics.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
A wonderful volume combining country-based, regional and international perspectives with an appropriate theoretical underpinning. Essential reading for all who are interested in this canker of governance.--Ian Thynne
