Kidd J.B., Richter F.J. (Eds.) Corruption and Governance in Asia

New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2003. — 256 p. — ISBN 1–4039–0560–6.The book delves into the nature of governance in Asia both at government and corporate level. It reviews the history and suggests potential solutions for years of underperformance due to the corrupt practices that have developed because of a poor understanding of corporate governance. The authors are experts in practices in Asia and their views are expressed in a sympathetic manner, at no time insisting that a western model of governance is correct. Instead the authors advise local models appropriate to the state of development and suggest that individual countries institute behavioural models that will mature as nations quickly develop in an increasingly global world.The ‘Oppression’ of Governance?
