Greed, Corruption, and the Modern State: Essays in Political Economy
What
makes the control of corruption so difficult and contested? Drawing on
the insights of political science, economics and law, the expert
contributors to this book offer diverse perspectives. One group of
chapters explores the nature of corruption in democracies and
autocracies, and “reforms” that are mere facades. Other contributions
examine corruption in infrastructure, tax collection, cross-border
trade, and military procurement. Case studies from various regions –
such as China, Peru, South Africa and New York City – anchor the
analysis with real-world situations. The book pays particular attention
to corruption involving international business and the domestic
regulation of foreign bribery.
