Routledge Handbook of Political Corruption de Paul Heywood

Routledge Handbook of Political Corruption

Editat de Paul Heywood
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 ian 2015
Since the early 1990s, a series of major scandals in both the financial and most especially the political worlds has resulted in close attention being paid to the issue of corruption and its links to political legitimacy and stability. Corruption remains as widespread today, possibly even more so, as it did when concerted international attention started being devoted to the issue following the end of the Cold War. This Handbook provides a showcase to the most innovative and exciting research being conducted in the field of political corruption, as well as providing a new point of reference for all who are interested in the topic.

Recenzii

This is a well-constructed, thought-provoking, and complete overview of and engagement with the corruption field, something that Routledge handbooks are deservedly recognized for. While some of the contributions can be quite dense and challenging, corruption as a field of study is more oriented to advanced undergraduates and graduate students. Thus, the selections are appropriate and likely to maintain relevance for the long term. The book also takes some novel approaches that pay off in terms of conceptual organization: it does not use the standard division of "definitions" and "cases," but evolves beyond that to include the vastly undervalued but direly needed "measurements" and "consequences." By fluidly and compellingly fusing case studies into these broader rubrics, the overall impact of the volume increases for students and researchers alike. Finally, the concluding section, "New Directions," takes on some fairly innovative studies of corruption that could become a leading edge for future research within the discipline. Consequently, students of corruption get the foundation and the future in this one handy volume. A welcome addition.

Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.
