About this book

Political corruption has recently emerged as a key area in the study of advanced industrial nations. Not only has it become more visible than in the past, its sheer scale in some countries has had a significant impact on the functioning of their political institutions. Martin Bull and James Newell have assembled a group of experts to address the importance of this phenomenon for contemporary Western democracies - as well as for the new democracies of Eastern Europe, for the European Union and at the international level.

Reviews

'...the book clearly reflects two major shifts in perspective that characterize this new strand of literture on corruption...The great strength of this book lies in the wealth of experiences and proposals it offers, making it clear that there are no easy answers for the problems.' - Liliane Karlinger, Environment and Planning
