First edition [English]: 2000. Subsequent editions since then.

This handbook is designed to improve the quality and depth of reporting on the abuses of power and resources. It provides practical tools like research strategies, lists of anti-corruption resources, reviews of successful anti-corruption investigations, and "good governance" benchmarks. The book contains a formula for determining the real costs of corruption in public administration and an assessment of the loss of investment, the socio-economic costs of poverty and the consequences of violence and ethnic conflict, and economic collapse. It also attempts to provide frameworks for systematic analysis of institutional weaknesses that cause corruption. All suggestions, strategies and tools are illustrated with case studies.
