Political Corruption in Transition: A Sceptic’s Handbook

Based on two international conferences at Princeton University and the Central European University, this is a handy guide to the problem of corruption in transition countries, with an important comparative content.  Political Corruption in Transition  is distinguished from similar publications by at least two by the quality of the carefully selected and edited essays ans by its original treatment. Instead of the usual preaching and excommunications, this  Skeptics Handbook  represents down-to-earth realism. Combines general issues with case studies and original research. The geographic coverage is wide, though it is ideas rather than a geography that drive the volumes organization.
