It is not a conventional study of the politics of local government since it seeks to place corruption in urban societies in a wider cultural context. It reclaims the study of corruption from political scientists and sociologists for historians but provides theoretical explanations of the causes of corruption testing them against real cases.Political corruptionGreat BritainHistory20th centuryLocal governmentGreat BritainHistory20th centuryPolitical corruptionHistoryLocal governmentHistory363.1323Jones Peter(Peter S.),369564StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910154313003321From virtue to venality2657499UNINA
