Corruption, Politics and Development: The Role of the World Bank
ISBN: 9781349433278 / Angielski / Miękka / 261 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1997, the World Bank announced a strategy to help its borrowers combat corruption, despite earlier claims that work of this kin violated the Bank's non-political mandate.

Heather Marquette argues that the Bank should focus in its strengths and avoid the more controversial components of its anti-corruption programme, which threaten its credibility.

ISBN: 9781349517381 / Angielski / Miękka / 253 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
