Review
`For those seriously concerned with the subject, I suspect whether they would find more information about so many varied aspects around the globe in one place than in these volumes. . . What the editors - particularly Robert Williams who is the anchor person in the gigantic effort - have done for us, the readers, is to sift the grain from the chaff. Therefore, it is worth paying for this reference compendium.' -- C.S. Venkata Ratnam, Global Business Review `An extraordinary broadly drawn collection of essays and analyses is combined in these four heavy volumes, to offer a remarkable overview of the politics of corruption, North, South, East and West. . . these volumes belong in every decent library of political science and economic development.' -- James Smith, The Spokesman `An excellent wide-ranging collection that covers the multitude of ways in which private wealth and public power interact. The contents include work from a variety of social science disciplines and cover the world from American campaign finance to Mobutu's Zaire. A volume on remedies stresses the importance of supplementing legal reforms with reforms in the structures that govern public/private interactions.' -- Susan Rose-Ackerman, Yale University, US and author of Corruption and Government: Causes, Consequences, and Reform (1999)
