Scandals in Past and Contemporary PoliticsJohn Garrard, James Newell Manchester University Press, 2006 - 242 pages Though their content has changed greatly over time, the assumption is that scandals also have certain enduring features in terms of their character, the conditions under which they occur, their evolution and effects. They also have much to tell us about the societies in which they occur." "Primarily directed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, the book will be useful for academics with an interest in corruption and scandal. It will also be of interest to anyone concerned about an increasingly conspicuous feature of modern liberal democratic societies."--BOOK JACKET. |
