The Regulation of Standards in British Public Life: Doing the Right Thing?
ISBN: 9781784992675 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the most profound changes in British public life over the last twenty years has been the increasing concern with probity and standards.

The book analyses the way new machinery and new rules have been put in place in different parts of the public sector as a protection against corruption and conflict of interest and as a spur to raising standards. It...
