Reseña del editor

Corruption, for most of us, almost immediately evokes images of the third world especially countries like Nigeria, Mexico and India. Whilst we may concede that corruption exists in developed countries it is generally thought to be under control. Despite such widely-held views there is very little hard evidence on the actual extent of corruption in any country. This book strives to look behind impressions in an attempt to determine what factors underlie the high profile of corruption in UDCs. For an adequate understanding of the phenomenon the global character of corruption is emphasized as well as the necessity of locating within a broader process of economic and social change.

Reseña del editor

This book aims to probe behind impressions asking first of all what corruption is, what factors lie behind its apparently non-problematic status in "modern" societies, and why these factors appear to be absent in underdeveloped countries. The book emphasizes the global character of corruption and the necessity of locating the phenomenon within a broader process of social and economic change. The book concludes that not only are the prospects for controlling corruption in the Third World extremely bleak, but that the abuse of public authority is likely to become more of a problem in developed countries than it has been for the past half- century.
