Combating corruption and the misuse of public office appears to be a never-ending fight. The fourth edition of this authoritative work aims to equip legal practitioners and anti-corruption activists with the latest guidance and tools to keep the forces of corruption and the misuse of public office in the UK and across the globe at bay. Fully revised and updated to cover relevant case law and fast-moving developments in both domestic and international spheres, the book's wide-ranging coverage of topics includes: examination of sector specific initiatives; expanded coverage of the FCPA; civil and criminal mechanisms for recovering the proceeds of corruption; and new material on setting standards in the public and private sector. Apart from thorough UK coverage, this new edition also covers the laws and regulations of overseas jurisdictions including China, Canada, the UAE, and developing countries such as Kenya and Nigeria. The book considers the broadening scope of corruption and its intersection with questions of integrity in public life and examines lobbying and the move towards open government. Written by leading practitioners with extensive experience of handling corruption cases, the book provides a clear exposition of the current law. It examines the legal and practical issues relating to the investigation and prosecution of corruption cases and includes coverage of specialist areas such as recovering the proceeds of corruption. Corruption cases often span jurisdictions. This book enables practitioners to handle any aspect of a corruption case by providing them with detailed analysis of the international efforts to combat corruption, and the legal developments taking place in key jurisdictions and regions covered by UN, EU, OECD, the Commonwealth, and other regional anti-corruption initiatives.

New Windmills: A Wedding Man Is Nicer Than Cats, Miss (New Windmills)

Heinemann Educational Books - Secondary Division

From Google Books: Editorial Review - Kirkus Reviews - A slow death is probably what you want to call it,"" said an Anaconda aluminum worker after describing his symptoms of emphysema and chlorine gas poisoning. Scott's survey of the epidemic persistence of 19th century horrors in industry ranges from beryllium disease to loss of life and limb in mines and refineries -- owing to industry pressure, accidents are vastly under-counted and employers often deny that diseases are job related. Armed with such ineffectual auxiliaries as the Industrial Health Foundation, and coddled by certain labor unions, the industrialists sit in their air-conditioned offices calculating that workmen's compensation (a pittance) is cheaper than investment in safety measures. One aspect Scott herself merely notes is the way the bonus system and the 1970's speedup make workers ignore safety insofar as safety slows them up. This three-year Ford Foundation funded study -- relying more on interviews than tabulations -- ably sketches the size and the pain of the slaughter but unlike Emma Rothschild in Paradise Lost (1973), for example, Scott does not press for the contextual grasp of technological and financial developments (or non-developments) which would locate the investigation in something more than abstract profiteering. This remains a valuable contribution and a highly moving one.

The Challenge of Political Islam: Non-Muslims and the Egyptian State

The rise of political Islam has provoked considerable debate about the compatibility of democracy, tolerance, and pluralism with the Islamist position. As The Challenge of Political Islam reveals, Egyptian Islamists today are more integrated into the political arena than ever, and are voicing a broad spectrum of positions, including a vision of Islamic citizenship more inclusive of non-Muslims. Based on Islamist writings, political tracts, and interviews with Islamists―including members of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and other important contemporary thinkers―this book looks closely at how modern, politically-oriented Egyptian Islamists perceive non-Muslims in an Islamic state and how non-Muslims respond. Clarifying the movement's aims, this work uncovers how Islamists have responded to the pressures of modernity, the degree to which the movement has been influenced by both a historical Islamic framework and Western modes of political thinking, and the necessity to reconsider the notion that secularism is a precondition for toleration.
