The breadth of coverage of the books surveyed is reflected by the fact that together they consider 29 countries, as well as regional perspectives. This range provides ample space to consider variations in how corruption is defined, experienced and countered. The book llustrates forms of corrupt behaviour, harms caused, and possible solutions.
