Money in essential for electoral politics yet its use and abuse often raises problems of graft, corruption, and cronyism. To throw new light on these challenges, this book addresses three related questions: (1) What types of public policies are commonly used around the world to regulate the role of money in politics? This includes public subsidies to political parties, spending limits and donor caps, and disclosure and transparency requirements. (2) What triggers landmark reforms in political finance? (3) 'What works,' what fails, and why - when countries reform regulations?
