Description
Irish political life has experienced great turmoil in recent years because of the scale and intricacy of political corruption being uncovered by parliamentary and quasi-judicial inquiries.
There is genuine popular amazement and growing cynicism towards the seemingly never-ending wave of scandal and attendant tribunals.
To understand political corruption in Ireland, this pamphlet examines the concept within a political-science analytical framework that allows both historical and international comparison.
The book challenges the current explanations of political corruption, particularly those that stress a turning away from a political golden age in the 1960sUnderstanding Political Corruption in Irish Politics chronicles political scandals in the 1990s, looks at their causes and explains their consequences.
It also suggests reform strategies that will reduce the incentives drawing politicians towards corruption and increase the likelihood and expense of being detected.
