Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThis volume provides a rich historical context for analysis and creatively explores the varying definitions and usages of the term 'corruption.' Given its complexity, corruption deserves to be examined from the perspective of many disciplines. This volume does so, admirably, and is a very substantial and refreshing contribution to the field. -- Paul Hutchcroft, associate professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
