It is a root cause of low growth and inequality, and plagues numerous nations throughout the world in varying degrees. In \u003cem\u003ePolitical Parties, Business Groups, and Corruption in Developing Countries, \u003c\/em\u003e Vineeta Yadav tackles the puzzle of corruption by analyzing the role that business lobbying plays in it. She shows that the structure of a developing nation's legislative institutions frequently determines whether such institutions promote or restrain corruption. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCombining focused studies of legislative institutions and business groups in India and Brazil with a broader survey of corruption in sixty four developing democracies, Yadav shows how systems with powerful parties rather than ones with powerful individual legislators encourage the most corruption. A rigorous comparative examination of the connections between political institutions, lobbying, and corruption, this work will reshape our understanding of how developing country democracies can both discourage and encourage bribery, vote buying, and influence peddling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vineeta Yadav\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199735913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199735914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2012","brand":"Vineeta Yadav","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47420256944383,"sku":"9780199735914","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e36ce18-ea8f-43a2-87fa-f02c48939ae4.jpg?v=1761525930","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/political-parties-business-groups-and-vineeta-yadav-9780199735914","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
