”The Fourth Edition establishes this work as far more than a textbook for the practising lawyer. It provides a global view of the evils of the different forms of corruption, and the steps being taken by at least some countries to address these, of much wider interest, as are the series of international case studies that make fascinating reading.” – Nicholas Phillips, Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers
