Michael Johnston argues that corruption will persist, and even be
the rule rather than the exception, until those with a stake in
ending it can act in ways that cannot be ignored. This is the key
principle of 'deep democratization', enabling citizens to defend
their interests by political means. The author analyses four
syndromes of corruption in light of this principle: official moguls
in Egypt and Tunisia, oligarchs and clans in the Philippines, elite
cartels in Argentina, and influence markets in France, Australia
and the US. Johnston argues that different kinds of corruption
require distinctive responses, each bearing specific risks.
Focusing on recent events, including the global economic crisis and
the Arab Spring, he shows that we can assess vulnerabilities to
corruption and the effects of reforms, and use this information to
identify new practices. His book offers a fundamental reappraisal
of ways to check abuses of wealth and power.
