Produktbeschreibung
The second edition of Corruption and Government updates Susan Rose-Ackerman's 1999 book to address emerging issues and to rethink old questions in light of new data. The book analyzes the research explosion that accompanied the fall of the Berlin Wall, the founding of Transparency International, and the World Bank's decision to give anti-corruption policy a key place on its agenda. Time has vindicated Rose-Ackerman's emphasis on institutional reform as the necessary condition for serious progress. The book deals with routine payoffs and with corruption in contracting and privatization. It gives special attention to political corruption and to instruments of accountability. The authors have expanded the treatment of culture as a source of entrenched corruption and added chapters on criminal law, organized crime, and post-conflict societies. The book outlines domestic conditions for reform and discusses international initiatives - including both explicit anti-corruption policies and efforts to constrain money laundering.

Rezensionen
'Susan Rose-Ackerman has been a powerful ally of Transparency International (TI), from its very beginnings more than twenty years ago. Through her writing, teaching, and speaking she accompanied our battle against corruption with her thoughtful, sometimes critical, economist perspective of our activism. The first edition of this book came out just in time, to help strengthen the conceptual framework of fighting corruption in various institutions, and the anti-corruption community will be grateful to Susan and her coauthor, Bonnie J. Palifka, for producing the new edition of this seminal work. The strong conceptual economic framework provided in this book will be needed for practitioners, teachers, scholars, and the media as we continue our battle against the scourge of corruption.' Peter Eigen, Founder and Chairman of the Advisory Council, Transparency International
