Recenzje

’Perry has written a most timely and important book, one that sheds the light of wisdom upon an important and massively neglected political phenomenon...an enhanced understanding of corruption as a political phenomenon and with fresh insight into the nature of Australia and its politics.’ Dr. Pete Hay, University of Tasmania, Australia '...Perry's book adds to the few scholarly works on political corruption and his case for further study is strong. The book will appeal to those interested in Australia generally and in its politics, geography, development and history specifically.' Public Administration
