Political corruption has recently emerged as a key area of study in industrially advanced nations. Not only has it become more visible than in the past, its scale in some countries has had a significant impact on the functioning of their political institutions. Martin Bull and James Newell have assembled a group of experts to study the importance of this phenomenon in contemporary Western democracies as well as in new democracies in Eastern Europe, the European Union, and at the international level.
