Reviews

`Political Corruption in Africa: Extraction and Power Preservation is a readable book, beautifully edited by Inge Amundsen. It is a major scholarly contribution and is a powerful book, based upon many deeply researched country case studies. A must read for any policy practitioner, investor, activist or scholar needing to understand how political corruption functions in today's Africa.' -- Alex Vines OBE, Coventry University, UK
