{"product_id":"syndromes-of-corruption-michael-johnston-9780521618595","title":"Syndromes of Corruption: Wealth, Power, and Democracy","description":"Corruption is a threat to democracy and economic development in many societies. It arises in the ways people pursue, use and exchange wealth and power, and in the strength or weakness of the state, political and social institutions that sustain and restrain those processes. Differences in these factors, Michael Johnston argues, give rise to four major syndromes of corruption: Influence Markets, Elite Cartels, Oligarchs and Clans, and Official Moguls. Johnston uses statistical measures to identify societies in each group, and case studies to show that the expected syndromes do arise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Johnston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521618592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521618595\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2006 pg. 554","brand":"Michael Johnston","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996771418367,"sku":"9780521618595","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_510d7ee7-ed1c-42db-8898-3045492e6bf1.jpg?v=1683343594","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/syndromes-of-corruption-michael-johnston-9780521618595","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
