Public Corruption: The Dark Side of Social EvolutionAnthem Press, 2002 - 250 pagina's The issue of public corruption typically provokes two reactions: why does it occur and how can it be stopped? Implicit in these responses is the assumption that the absence of corruption is both right and normal.In "Public Corruption: the Dark Side of Social Evolution, " Professor Robert Neild challenges this view, and states that the opposite is in fact the truth. Drawing on a wide range of historical sources, and examples from contemporary politics from around the globe, Neild demonstrates that it is, rather, the "uncorrupt" government that is exceptional - and never totally achievable. By exploring how corruption has been suppressed, and why we pursue the ideal of uncorrupt government, Neild's insightful analysis moves us to a clearer understanding of the forces behind public corruption, and provides new means of tackling it. |
