Announcement: New Edited Volume on “Greed, Corruption and the Modern State”

by Matthew Stephenson

Please forgive the self-promotion, but some of our readers out there might be interested in the new volume, Greed, Corruption and the Modern State, co-edited by Susan Rose-Ackerman and Paul Lagunes. (I said it's self-promotion because I have a chapter in the book on the relationship between democratic electoral institutions and corruption.) The publisher's information page is here, and the online e-book can be found here. Just to save interested readers a bit of time, I'll list here the contents, with direct links to PDFs of the chapters:
