Law; Consumer protection law

This book seeks to enrich and, in some cases, reverse current ideas on corruption and its prevention. It is a long held belief that sanctions are the best guard against corrupt practice. This innovative work argues that in some cases sanctions paradoxically increase corruption and that controls provide opportunities for corrupt transactions. Instead it suggests that better regulation and responsive enforcement, not sanctions, offer the most effective response to corruption.

Taking both a theoretical and applied approach, it examines the question from a global perspective, drawing on in particular a regulatory perspective, to provide a model for tackling corrupt practices.

Reviews for Corruption from a Regulatory Perspective

The book is clear and easy to follow ... this is an insightful and inspiring book that makes us think and enriches us. --Public Integrity This is a broad and deep analysis of corruption. It explores with great insight all aspects of corruption from an administrative law perspective, thus filling a gap in current bibliography. The book is an invaluable source of information for academics and practitioners alike. --Professor Helen Xanthaki, Faculty of Laws UCL Maria De Benedetto has produced a path-breaking study of the relationship between corruption and controls. It is a must-read for those who would seek to use rules, regulations and enforcement to address corrupt practices. It advances the literature on both corruption and regulation. --Rob Baldwin, Professor Emeritus, London School of Economics and Political Science, Director, LSE Executive Course on Regulation Professor de Benedetto's comprehensive and inclusive analysis of the regulatory anticorruption approach and all it implies is both readable and comprehensible. That's a feat in itself. I would recommend it to anyone involved in anti-corruption, especially those working in policy and advocacy roles. --Ruth Steinholtz, AreteWork
