POLITICAL CORRUPTION AND GOVERNANCE BAD GOVER...

This book explains why the role of corruption varies greatly between public services  between
people  between national systems of governance  and between measures of corruption. More than
1.8 billion people pay the price of bad government each year  by sending a bribe to a public
official. In developing countries  corruption affects social services  such as health care and
education  and law enforcement institutions  such as the police. When public officials do not
act as bureaucrats delivering services by the book  people can try to get them by hook or by
crook. The book's analysis draws on unique evidence: a data base of sample surveys of 175 000
people in 125 countries in Africa  Asia  the Middle East  Europe  and North and South America.
The authors avoid one-size-fits-all proposals for reform and instead provide measures that can
be applied to particular public services to reduce or eliminate opportunities for corruption.
