Amazon.com description: Product Description: Aspires to be geographically comprehensive, to be grounded in the appropriate historical context, to apply economic theories of human behavior while avoiding the excessive emphasis on the market forces proffered by public-choice theorists, and to consider the international dimensions. Having cut loose from the anthropological approach that has dominated studies of corruption in Africa, presents new date that lead to new conclusions on familiar situations. Other themes of the 11 studies are the ethnic client networks that play a large part and the impact of the Cold and international corruption. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
