Review

'Graycar and Smith's excellent edited volume studies corruption as a pervasive, global phenomenon. The chapters move from general overviews to in-depth studies of corruption-prone sectors such as forestry, financial markets, public procurement, and trade in diamonds and art. The volume is an important, contribution to the international study of corruption that mixes scholarly analysis with practical recommendations for the control and prevention of corruption - both international initiatives and country - or sector-specific policies.' -- Susan Rose-Ackerman, Yale Law School, US'Action against corruption has risen rapidly on the global political agenda and remains a key concern of peoples around the world. The United Nations Convention against Corruption, the first and only global binding legal instrument against the phenomenon, offers the framework and basis for a concerted, coordinated and comprehensive response. In order to buttress the Convention, however, knowledge and the consequent awareness are crucial. This Handbook is a commendable effort to address this need and serves to fill the gap that exists. The authors and editors have made a significant contribution, bringing together professionals and practitioners alike.' -- Dimitri Vlassis, Chief, Corruption and Economic Crime Branch, UNODC and Secretary, Conference of the States Parties to the United Nations Convention against Corruption'This Handbook will serve as an invaluable resource for scholars, students and public officials interested in understanding corruption and its control.' -- James B. Jacobs, New York Unviersity, School of Law
