"This book represents a useful and affordable addition to any anti-corruption collection or library. It builds upon existing work of political scientists and economists who have focused on the political economy of corruption." - Adam Masters, Economic Record

"The authors provide an accessible but solid introduction to the issue that combines insights from the literature with numerous empirical examples from a wide range of countries that illustrate their argument. This way, the book can serve as a valuable resource for policy-makers as well as the syllabi of modules in political science and development economics." - Fabian Stroetges, Global Policy
