Book excerpt: There has been a rapid scaling up of anti-corruption initiatives since the mid-1990s, and anti-corruption programs are now a core part of development policy and practice. This book examines the relevance of anti-corruption discourse in Papua New Guinea, one of the most culturally rich and 'corrupt' countries on earth. It critically examines the collision of international and local perspectives on corruption in PNG, providing a diagnostic on international assumptions about corruption and how it should be fought in developing countries. It is essential reading for scholars of Development Studies, Geography and Political Studies, as well as practitioners and policy makers of development.
