Money, Corruption, and Competition in Established and Emerging - Democracie

Informationen zum Autor Jonathan Mendilow is professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science at Rider University. Klappentext Money, Corruption, and Competition in Established and Emerging Democracies, edited by Jonathan Mendilow, investigates the effectiveness of public subsidization of political competition as an anti-corruption mechanism. Can it substitute practices corrosive to democracy, such as plutocratic funding, or the outright "sale" of public policy? What does the long term experience with public funding in established democracies tell us about hidden "costs " and unforeseen consequences, especially in emerging democracies? In a politically divisive climate, the contributors to this essential collection provide thoughtful insight to contemporary public and economic policy questions.
