The editors weave academic and specialized analyses of corruption in Asia since the 1997 economic crisis together with lessons drawn by practitioners, nongovernmental organizations, journalists, and anti-corruption activists. Articles consider the wider context of the challenges of corruption; examine specific countries, sectors of society, and strategies for fighting corruption; and look at efforts to address the problem in Singapore an imperfect nation that is nevertheless consistently rated as the least corrupt in Asia. The collection stems from a 2001 conference organized by the Singapore Institute of International Affairs with the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
