Curbing Corruption by Bertram I Spector

Curbing Corruption by Bertram I Spector

This book explains why many anti-corruption efforts have had only a minimal effect on curbing the problem of corruption and shows readers what does work in the real world in the fight against corruption, and why. For policy-makers, NGOs, development practitioners, and corruption studies students and researchers.

"Spector disentangles the dilemmas of corruption control by asking 'what works?' – a question he answers on levels ranging from history and institutions to human psychologyCorruption is often a process of negotiation, and this book shows how we can help such negotiations fail. In these pages, reformers, scholars and citizens will find new challenges and fresh perspectives on age-old problems."

Michael Johnston, Charles A. Dana Professor of Political Science, Emeritus, Colgate University, USA

"Spector brings his decades-long experience in combating corruption to produce an impressive analysis of why reform efforts to eradicate corruption have had only minimal success. It is a must-read for policymakers concerned with finding new pathways to sustainably tackle corruption."

Shaukat Hassan, former Senior Policy Advisor, Canadian International Development Agency

"Fighting corruption is incredibly hard. Few have more experience designing, implementing, and assessing anti-corruption programs than Dr. Spector. Students of governance, reformers, and anti-corruption practitioners should keep this book nearby to chart their course through treacherous waters."

Juhani Grossmann, Team Leader, Basel Institute on Governance, Switzerland
