This book deals with an important topic, and Moustafa does it justice.

No specialist in the fields specified can afford to ignore this important study.' Law and Politics Book Review

Global Corruption Report 2009
Corruption and the Private Sector
Corporate Author Transparency International

£23.99

The Global Corruption Report 2009 documents the scale and scope of corruption in business and explores the potential for reform.

'For many years the GCR has performed an invaluable service in both benchmarking the standard of business and government practice … and in assessing the costs of corruption. … The 2009 edition carries on that tradition, and takes it forward in a challenging way, highlighting specific ways in which businesses can improve their performance and strengthen their own protections against corruption. … The GCR deserves a very wide audience in both the private and public sectors, in developing and developed countries alike. There is nothing which holds back balanced and socially beneficial development more than corrupt business practices, and TI is in the forefront of the fight to root them out.' Sir Howard Davies, Director, London School of Economics and former Chairman of the Financial Services Authority, United Kingdom
