Description:

Corruption is everywhere. Countries worldwide, from the richest to the poorest, are infected by it. But things are never quite as they seem, and no two countries suffer from corruption in the same way. The Corruption Notebooks are stories told by local journalists of how countries are struggling daily to rein in graft and protect the public interest. The authors are among the world's best journalists, examining the politics of their home countries as no one else can. The Corruption Notebooks are a product of Global Integrity, an award-winning network of researchers and journalists working to provide independent insights into corruption and governance issues worldwide. Formally launched in 2006, Global Integrity has field staff in over 70 countries.
