{"product_id":"leadership-institutions-and-enforcement-slobodan-tomic-9783319975825","title":"Leadership, Institutions and Enforcement: Anti-Corruption Agencies in Serbia, Croatia and Macedonia","description":"This book presents an analysis of five anticorruption agencies (ACAs) from Serbia, Macedonia and Croatia, exploring the impact of organisational factors and leadership on their enforcement patterns during the first decade of the transitional reforms (2001-2012). Contrary to the conventional theory of agency insulation, the analysis reveals that the ACAs' de facto autonomy was not crucially shaped by their statutory independence, but rather by the reputational management of their leaders. The book draws on a mixture of qualitative and quantitative analysis to document these reputational strategies and how they shaped the ACAs' de facto autonomy. The findings also suggest that that the ACAs' organisational model - defined by the delegated mandate and powers (preventative vs suppressive) - represented a key variable that mediated under which conditions high de facto autonomy can be achieved. The book offers contributions to the study of anticorruption policy and ethics regulation, as well as the wider inquiry into drivers of agency independence, particularly in transitional contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Slobodan Tomic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 331997582X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319975825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.63d","brand":"Slobodan Tomic","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48442798342399,"sku":"9783319975825","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21e2d405-9cd2-4623-8793-667d0ee7ff7c.jpg?v=1777199846","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leadership-institutions-and-enforcement-slobodan-tomic-9783319975825","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
