Cambridge University Press Modernization Cultural Change and Democracy
Book SynopsisWhat people want out of life is changing - their political goals, religious values, sexual norms, and economic motivations are being changed in roughly predictable ways. This book presents evidence of these changes from eighty nations, and explains the forces that are driving them.Trade Review'Modernization, Cultural Change, and Democracy is the crowning achievement of three decades of research on the origins, evolution, and consequences of human values. Bold in its theorizsng, pathbreaking in its methods, breathtaking in its empirical scope, and stunning in its findings, this book is one of the most important social science works ever produced on the relationship between values, development, and political regimes. Inglehart and Welzel make a compelling case for viewing development as the expansion of human autonomy and choice, and for political freedom and democracy as the consequence of economic development and cultural change. Anyone who thinks modernization theory is dead will have to grapple with the powerful logic of their evidence and argument. ' Larry Diamond, Stanford University'This book is a landmark in the study of political culture and democratisation. It will polarise opinion, provoking both strong acclaim and fierce critique. For this work presents powerful evidence contradicting several major schools of thought in the social sciences. It will be debated and cited now, and in years to come.' Hans-Dieter Klingemann, Fondation Nationale des Sciences Politiques, Paris'Inglehart and Welzel's book is a tour de force. Its comprehensive theory of how social modernization shapes human development makes a major contribution to our understanding of political development. This theory is tested by a rich analysis of people's opinions and values from all four waves of the World Values Survey - an unprecedented social science resource that covers 85 percent of the world's population. They conclude that social modernization shapes the human condition in predictable ways, and that the cultural consequences of modernization are a major force driving democratisation. Culture matters - in nurturing the conditions for democracy to develop and in shaping the workings of the democratic process.' Russell J. Dalton, University of California, Irvine'The book is a major contribution to the research on value changes and democratisation and will be of much interest to both students and researchers who study human development and democratic change.'

Cambridge University Press The Institutional Economics of Corruption and
Book SynopsisThis book shows how insights from institutional economics can be used to develop a better understanding of why corruption occurs and the best policies to combat it. It will be an invaluable resource for researchers and policy-makers concerned with anti-corruption reform.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'Lambsdorff provides a sound institutional economic analysis of corruption and possible reforms. This book will improve our understanding of the difficult topic of corruption and will help policy makers to better cope with its consequences. It will be the standard treatment of this subject for many years to come.' Friedrich Schneider, Professor of Economics, Johannes Kepler University of LinzReview of the hardback: 'Johann Graf Lambsdorff has spearheaded research on anti-corruption over the last decade…In his new book he gives novel insights into corruption and anti-corruption … this book is sure to further motivate and initiate the fight against corruption as well as to provide inspiration to academics and practitioners.' Peter Eigen, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Transparency InternationalReview of the hardback: 'In this valuable book, Johann Graf Lambsdorff, developer of Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index, brings his vast knowledge to the task of understanding and combating corruption. Economists usually study the incentives to pay and receive bribes; they recommend strategies of prevention and transparency. Lambsdorff, in contrast, emphasizes the structure of the corrupt deal itself. Corrupt actors face the risk of betrayal; hence, reform should seek to make betrayal more likely. His conclusions support law enforcement techniques that reward the corrupt for supplying information as well as measures that make communication between officials and clients difficult and costly. With his distinctive perspective, Lambsdorff has made an important contribution to the field of corruption studies.' Susan Rose-Ackerman, Henry R. Luce Professor of Law and Political Science, Yale Law SchoolReview of the hardback: 'Johann Graf Lambsdorff is the man behind the Corruption Index from Transparency International. It is reported – often with lurid headlines – across the world every year when it is issued. A government loves it when its country rises even a few steps up towards honesty, and the opposition and many journalists love it when their country descends even a few steps down towards corruption. With such fame and notoriety everything that is known and written about corruption descends upon Johann Graf Lambsdorff, and this book is his summary and thoughts after twelve years of the TI index. The book is first of all a detailed and thoughtful survey of the evidence and the literature. It is also a strong plea for a more honest world, with very insightful discussions of a broad range of proposals for reform.'
