Dan Hough is Professor of Politics at the University of Sussex. He has been a consultant on corruption and anti-corruption issues for the UK government, the Saudi Arabian anti-corruption commission, and the South Korean anti-corruption commission.
This book is a much needed introduction to the fascinating field of
corruption and anti-corruption policies. It gives a comprehensive
overview of how the field has developed and expanded. Dan Hough
covers the full breadth of issues: from the difficulties of
defining and measuring corruption, to the various theories used by
different disciplines to explain this very particular political
phenomenon and the rise of the international anti-corruption
regime. Written in a clear and accessible style, this book will
serve as a stimulating guide to what has become a hot issue within
academia, public policy and for the general public.
*Bo Rothstein, University of Gothenburg*
After almost thirty years' activism and analysis the
anti-corruption movement badly needs to step back, take stock of
what it has and has not accomplished, and base its next phase upon
a frank appraisal of what we have learned. Dan Hough's book
provides just that sort of much-needed synthesis, set forth in a
style that will make it essential reading for the next generation
of students as well as for those now active in the field. The book
will be useful not only for its own contents but also as a result
of the discussions and debates it is certain to launch.

Emeritus, Colgate University*
