Edited by Adam Graycar, Director of the Stretton Institute and Professor of Public Policy, University of Adelaide and Russell G. Smith, College of Business, Government and Law,Flinders University, Australia
’Graycar and Smith's excellent edited volume studies corruption as
a pervasive, global phenomenon. The chapters move from general
overviews to in-depth studies of corruption-prone sectors such as
forestry, financial markets, public procurement, and trade in
diamonds and art. The volume is an important, contribution to the
international study of corruption that mixes scholarly analysis
with practical recommendations for the control and prevention of
corruption - both international initiatives and country - or
sector-specific policies.’
*Susan Rose-Ackerman, Yale Law School, US*
’Action against corruption has risen rapidly on the global
political agenda and remains a key concern of peoples around the
world. The United Nations Convention against Corruption, the first
and only global binding legal instrument against the phenomenon,
offers the framework and basis for a concerted, coordinated and
comprehensive response. In order to buttress the Convention,
however, knowledge and the consequent awareness are crucial. This
Handbook is a commendable effort to address this need and serves to
fill the gap that exists. The authors and editors have made a
significant contribution, bringing together professionals and
practitioners alike.’
*Dimitri Vlassis, Chief, Corruption and Economic Crime Branch,
UNODC and Secretary, Conference of the States Parties to the United
Nations Convention against Corruption*
’This Handbook will serve as an invaluable resource for scholars,
students and public officials interested in understanding
corruption and its control.’
*James B. Jacobs, New York Unviersity, School of Law*
