Political Corruption : In Beyond the Nation State
ISBN: 9780415235556 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text argues that nation-state based analyses of political corruption no longer suffice in a world of globalized finance and international organized crime. Nor can political corruption be understood as something largely outside of the political process - a series of scandals to be dealt with by exposing and punishing miscreant individuals. Rather it involves the extension of many of the normal processes of day-to-day politics into illegitimate and unacceptable areas of activity. So focusing solely on flamboyant individual villains like Duvalier, Mobutu, Soeharto or Marcos is actually a...
