"This book seeks to challenge and, in some cases, reverse current ideas on corruption and its prevention. It is a long held belief that sanctions are the best guard against corrupt practise. This innovative work argues that in some cases sanctions serve to increase corruption: arguing that they provide an opportunity for corrupt transactions in their flouting. Instead it suggests that better regulation, not sanctions, offers the most effective response to corruption. Taking both a theoretical and applied approach, it examines the question from a global perspective, drawing on in particular economic approaches, to provide a model for tackling corrupt practises."-- Provided by publisher.
