Frontmatter -- Table of Contens -- Contributors -- List of Figures -- List of Tables -- Preface -- Introduction: Clientelism and Extortion: Corruption in Transition -- Part I: Understanding and Misunderstanding Corruption -- Introduction -- Corruption: An Analytical Map -- Political Corruption, Democratization, and Reform -- Dilemmas of Corruption Control -- The Bad, the Worse and the Worst: Guesstimating the Level of Corruption -- The Impact of Corruption on Economic Development: Applying “Third” World Insights to the Former Second World -- Part II: Corruption as Politics -- Introduction -- From Political Clientelism to Outright Corruption— The Rise of the Scandal Industry -- Clientelism and Corruption in South Korea -- Russia’s Distorted Anticorruption Campaigns -- Kompromat and Corruption in Russia -- Part III: Case Studies and Effects -- Introduction -- Games of Corruption: East Central Europe, 1945–1999 -- Corruption in Czech Privatization: The Dangers of “Neo-Liberal” Privatization -- Corruption and Administrative Barriers for Russian Business -- The Impact of Corruption on Legitimacy of Authority in New Democracies -- Structural Corruption of Party-Funding Models: Governmental Favoritism in Bulgaria and Russia -- Post-Soviet Corruption Outburst in Post-Conflict Tajikistan -- Afterword -- Introduction -- Liberalism, Geopolitics, Social Justice -- Notes -- Select Bibliography -- Index
Summary: Based on two international conferences at Princeton University and the Central European University, this is a handy guide to the problem of corruption in transition countries, with an important comparative content. Political Corruption in Transition is distinguished from similar publications by at least two features: by the quality of the carefully selected and edited essays ans by its original treatment. Instead of the usual preaching and excommunications, this Skeptic`s Handbook represents down-to-earth realism. Combines general issues with case studies and original research. The geographic coverage is wide, though it is ideas rather than a geography that drive the volume`s organization.
