Anticorruption in Transition 2 analyzes patterns and trends in corruption in business-government interactions in the transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. It points to some encouraging signs that the magnitude and negative impact that corruption exerts on businesses may be declining in many countries in the region. It also shows how some types of firms - most notably small private ones - encounter more corruption than others, and it underscores the importance of policy and institutional reforms in achieving long-term success in the fight against corruption. The longer-term sustainability of recent improvements is not certain, however, and the challenges ahead remain formidable.World Bank e-Library.Political corruptionEurope, EasternPolitical corruptionFormer Soviet republicsPrivatizationCorrupt practicesEurope, EasternPrivatizationCorrupt practicesFormer Soviet republicsPolitical corruptionPolitical corruptionPrivatizationCorrupt practicesPrivatizationCorrupt practices353.4/6Gray Cheryl Williamson1954-1863905Hellman Joel S1864444Ryterman Randi734081MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966740003321Anticorruption in transition 24471266UNINA
