Review quotes

"Dela Rama and Rowley (DR&R) examine the forms of corruption and anti-corruption measures across the Asia-Pacific region. The breadth of coverage of the books surveyed is reflected by the fact that together they consider 29 countries, as well as regional perspectives. This range provides ample space to consider variations in how corruption is defined, experienced and countered. The book llustrates forms of corrupt behaviour, harms caused, and possible solutions. In focusing on slightly different elements and perspectives of corruption, they provide a set of useful cases for future reference."—CCP
