This book addresses the issue by examining how the structure of electoral institutions - the rules of democratic contestation that determine the manner in which citizens choose their representatives - affects political corruption, defined as the abuse of state power or resources for campaign finance or party-building purposes. To this end, the book develops a novel theoretical framework that examines electoral institutions as a potential vehicle for political parties to exploit the state as a source of political finance. Hypotheses derived from this framework are assessed using an unprecedented public employees' survey conducted by the author in Bolivia, Brazil, and Chile"--Cover Výrazy tezauru korupce * politická morálka * politická strana * Jižní Amerika Klasifikační znaky 1216 - Trestní právo 0431 - Politický život a bezpečnost veřejnosti ISBN 978-1-107-04044-1 Copy count 1, currently available 1 URL Political institutions and party-directed corruption in South America (náhled do publikace / Google Books) Document kind Monografie
