It is thought to be one of the principal causes of poverty around the globe. Its significance in the contemporary world cannot be undervalued.

Providing evidence of corruption and considering ways to address it around the world, this is an important introduction to a significant and serious global issue. One of the first comprehensive introductions to the global problem of corruption Looks at what corruption is and the effect it has Considers the main causes of corruption and explore the ways in which corruption levels can be lowered Explores ways to address examples of corruption from across the globe
