Publisher's Synopsis
This collection provides up-to-date studies on international anti-corruption regimes from an interdisciplinary point of view. Focusing on Europe, selected cross-border initiatives meant to combat corruption are analyzed. The book contains both qualitative and quantitative studies. Moreover, it often takes cultural aspects into account within its four parts: a) the European dimension; b) political and legal instruments; c) culture, perceptions, and experiences; and d) practitioners' perspectives. The contributions are written by political scientists, lawyers, sociologists, economists, and practitioners.
