Classified as 'Research Essential' by Baker & Taylor YBP Library Services ’Many books are written about corruption. The difference here is the enormous scope and coverage, in terms of the many countries and cases covered. The book succeeds in conveying the important message that corruption is an international scourge and that combatting it requires global strategies and strong national integrity systems.’ Arthur Shacklock, Griffith University, Australia
