A short summary of this paper. Download Download PDF. Translate PDF. True enough, in light of fairly unchanging traditional polities constantly threatened by winds of political change, a new political order remains a goal. Modernization is actually the redistribution of power.
So where does the modernizing monarch secure support from for his reforms? At this volatile time in history, Huntington's assessment of the processes of democratization is indispensable to understanding the future of democracy in the world. In discussing specific cases in which he became involved, Lang addresses general questions of standards: standards of journalism, discourse, and of science.
Recurring questions concern how people process information and misinformation; inhibition of critical thinking and the role of education; how to make corrections, and how attempts at corrections are sometimes obstructed; the extent to which we submit to authority, and whether we can hold the authorities accountable; the competence of so-called experts; and the use of editorial and academic power to suppress or marginalize ideas, evidence, or data that do not fit the tenets of certain establishments.
By treating case studies and providing extensive documentation, Lang challenges some individuals and establishments to reconsider the ways they exercise their official or professional responsibilities.
Heidenheimer Publisher: Transaction Publishers ISBN: Category: Political Science Page: View: Corruption is once again high on the international policy agenda as a result of globalization, the spread of democracy, and major scandals and reform initiatives. But the concept itself has been a focus for social scientists for many years, and new findings and data take on richer meanings when viewed in the context of long-term developments and enduring conceptual debates.
This compendium, a much-enriched version of a work that has been a standard reference in the field since , offers concepts, cases, and fresh evidence for comparative analysis. Building on a nucleus of classic studies laying out the nature and development of the concept of corruption, the book also incorporates recent work on economic, cultural, and linguistic dimensions of the problem, as well as critical analyses of several approaches to reform. While many authors are political scientists, work by historians, economists, and sociologists are strongly represented.
Two-thirds of the nearly fifty articles are based either on studies especially written or translated for this volume, or on selected journal literature published in the s. The tendency to treat corruption as merely a synonym for bribery is illuminated by analyses of the diverse terminology and linguistic techniques that help distinguish corruption problems in the major languages.
Recent attempts to measure corruption, and to analyze its causes and effects quantitatively are also critically examined.
