- Summary:
-
"In Corrupt Exchanges primary research on the more conspicuous Italian case (judicial proceedings, in-depth interviews, parliamentary documents, and press databases), combined with a cross-national comparison based on a secondary analysis of corruption in democratic systems, is used to develop a model to analyze corruption as a network of illegal exchanges. The authors explore the structure of that network in great detail. These processes of degeneration have caused a crisis in the dominant paradigm in both academic and political considerations of corruption."--BOOK JACKET. "The book will serve both as a theoretical approach to a political problem of large bearing on democratic institutions and as a descriptive warning of a system in peril."--BOOK JACKET.
