Recenzje

'Eric M. Uslaner's account of corruption belongs to the most thoughtful in theory, the most convincing in eloquence and the most conclusive in terms of the breadth and depth of its empirical evidence. Excelling on so many different levels in the key domain of 'good governance' is a unique achievement.' Christian Welzel, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg, Germany
