✦ Synopsis

for these purposes, China. He confronts the definitional problems, constructs a hierarchy of corrupt actions, explores various ways of measuring their scope, considers the reasons for corruption, and assesses various measures for addressing it. This makes for as thorough, albeit narrowly defined, an account of corruption in these five states as one will find. Still, one comes away from the book with a feeling that the larger contours and portent of this rogue elephant, now so central to the future of these societies and so malignant in international affairs, remain only partially captured.
