Rezensionen

'Michael Johnston's book is an important contribution to corruption studies. It promises to push current research and thinking beyond a focus on economic models of corruption to give more serious consideration to political realities. The cases used to illustrate Johnston's four-fold taxonomy are lively and interesting and capture the essence of the situation in each country. The cumulative weight of these cases provides a convincing background for his provocative and thoughtful reform agenda.' Susan Rose-Ackerman, Yale Law School
