The fight against corruption is now a core part of development
policy and practice. Some call these efforts a 'war on corruption'.
What does this so-called 'war' mean for developing countries? And
how do international perspectives on corruption relate to local and
national concerns? This book examines the relevance of
anti-corruption discourse in Papua New Guinea (PNG), one of the
most culturally rich and 'corrupt' countries on earth. Despite
increased international, national and local efforts to address
corruption over the past two decades, many fear that levels of
corruption continue to rise largely unabated. Some believe that the
mismatch between international, national and local assumptions
regarding the nature of corruption and how it should be addressed
is at the heart of the issue. International anti-corruption
initiatives stress 'zero-tolerance' and try to strengthen formal
state-based institutions. However, many people in PNG are more
concerned about maintaining social relationships than following
state laws and rules. This book critically examines the
implications of the anti-corruption agenda and the collision of
international, national and local perspectives. In doing so it
provides a diagnostic on international assumptions about corruption
and how it should be fought in developing countries, offering
surprising and important lessons. This book is essential reading
for scholars and students of Development Studies, Geography,
Political Studies and Economics, as well as practitioners and
policy makers working in development.

Him. This book is encouraging and re-assuring.
This book was written to prepare for the certain problems of grief,
depression, pain, and other emotions that come into our lives.
While it was written originally for care-givers of gravely ill
people, it has been found to be of help to almost everyone that has
reviewed the book. I have heard from Pastors, hospice and hospital
workers, and visitation persons that said they gained great
insights into the moods and emotions of patients, and that it
helped them understand their own. emotions. Look inside the book on
the Amazon pages to get a better feel for the material. I believe
you will find it fascinating and helpful. The book is well regarded
by a seminary and is in their counseling curiculum

Twenty-five hundred years ago a small Mediterranean community
devised a new civic order; the community was Athens and the civic
order became democracy. Over almost two centuries Athens struggled
to keep its democracy. Previous novels, The Demos at Dawn and The
Children of Marathon, have described the early portions of this
struggle.
The present novel carries the struggle to a close. During the
course of this final period, Athenians desperately fought foreign
foes and each other, won, lost and suffered through strife, created
a thriving commerce and an empire, only to have them lost and then
regained and lost again, and produced architecture, art, drama and
philosophy unrivaled then or now.
This is a story of some men and women of that time, as well as
the story of ancient Athenian democracy.

Twenty-five hundred years ago a small Mediterranean community
defended itself from an invasion by the most powerful empire in the
world and won a singular victory of arms for themselves and for a
civic idea. The community was Athens; the victory was at Marathon,
and the civic idea was democracy. The struggle was not over. War
and civic struggles continued for the following generation of
Athenians. This is their story and the next chapter of democracy.
