The bulk of the 14 papers presented by Spector (director of the Washington, DC-based Center for Governmental Integrity at Management Systems International) consist of sectoral reviews of corruption in developing countries as it relates to justice systems, political parties, health care, education, public finance, the environment and natural resources, energy, the private sector, and agriculture. An integrative analysis of the common threads and distinctive differences among the sectors follows. The volume concludes with the presentation of three works of applied analysis that examine policy recommendations for addressing corruption in health care and educational service delivery, a meta-analytical approach for learning from corruption case studies, and the risks of "recorruption."
