| Summary |
"Based on a detailed examination of Kyrgyzstan, Johan Engvall goes well beyond the case of this single country to elaborate a broad theory of economic corruption in developing post-Soviet states regionally--as a rational form of investment market for political elites.

Drawing on extensive fieldwork Engvall details how these systems work and the major implications for political and economic development in the region"-- Provided by publisher. |
