There is genuine popular amazement and growing cynicism towards the seemingly never-ending wave of scandal and attendant tribunals. To understand political corruption in Ireland, this pamphlet examines the concept within a political-science analytical framework that allows both historical and international comparison. The book challenges the current explanations of political corruption, particularly those that stress a turning away from a political \"golden age\" in the 1960s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Understanding Political Corruption in Irish Politics\" chronicles political scandals in the 1990s, looks at their causes and explains their consequences. It also suggests reform strategies that will reduce the incentives drawing politicians towards corruption and increase the likelihood and expense of being detected. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neil Collins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1859182739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781859182734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cork University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.32h x 5.34w x 0.37d","brand":"Neil Collins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125493723391,"sku":"9781859182734","price":11.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b65003ab-d06f-4c1c-978a-501e1cc2799f.jpg?v=1687442948","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-political-corruption-in-irish-neil-collins-9781859182734","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
