{"product_id":"the-quest-for-good-governance-alina-mungiu-pippidi-9781107534575","title":"The Quest for Good Governance: How Societies Develop Control of Corruption","description":"Why do some societies manage to control corruption so that it manifests itself only occasionally, while other societies remain systemically corrupt? This book is about how societies reach that point when integrity becomes the norm and corruption the exception in regard to how public affairs are run and public resources are allocated. It primarily asks what lessons we have learned from historical and contemporary experiences in developing corruption control, which can aid policy-makers and civil societies in steering and expediting this process. Few states now remain without either an anticorruption agency or an Ombudsman, yet no statistical evidence can be found that they actually induce progress. Using both historical and contemporary studies and easy to understand statistics, Alina Mungiu-Pippidi looks at how to diagnose, measure and change governance so that those entrusted with power and authority manage to defend public resources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alina Mungiu-Pippidi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107534577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107534575\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 08\/25\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2016","brand":"Alina Mungiu-Pippidi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991874601215,"sku":"9781107534575","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68056e77-cccb-4aa4-baa9-c17fa14aa0de.jpg?v=1683312738","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-quest-for-good-governance-alina-mungiu-pippidi-9781107534575","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
