Political Corruption in Transition

A Sceptic's Handbook
Erscheinungsjahr 2002
ISBN: 978-963-9241-46-6
Verlag: Central European University Press

Buch, Englisch, 514 Seiten, Format (B × H): 174 mm x 221 mm, Gewicht: 894 g

Based on two international conferences at Princeton University and the Central European University, this is a handy guide to the problem of corruption in transition countries, with an important comparative content. Political Corruption in Transition is distinguished from similar publications by at least two features: by the quality of the carefully selected and edited essays ans by its original treatment. Instead of the usual preaching and excommunications, this Skeptic`s Handbook represents down-to-earth realism.

Combines general issues with case studies and original research. The geographic coverage is wide, though it is ideas rather than a geography that drive the volume`s organization.
