Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book presents a variety of perspectives on the phenomenon of political and economic corruption-and the link between them-through focused and theoretical analysis. While grounded in the intellectual tradition of classical writers such as Edmund Burke, the volume presents an updated profile of corrupted practices in the contemporary world. |
