Description: This book is an invaluable and informative volume for anyone interested in corruption issues and anti-corruption policies not only in China but applicable elsewhere. This is the first-ever work offering comprehensive quantitative and qualitative analyses of the manifestation and determinants of corruption throughout China between 1979 and 2012. Among other observations, the evolutionary process in the nature and forms of corruption are closely related to changes in Chinese government economic and fiscal policies. It is so comprehensive it could be used as a reference work while parts of it read like a novel as the author illustrates types of corruption with typical cases. This research is descriptive and exploratory.
Notes: "1979-2012"--Cover.
