Vineeta Yadav's book is full of brilliant insights, fascinating paradoxes, and compelling empirical narratives about corruption and lobbying Brazil, India, and other developing countries. Counter-intuitively, Yadav finds that strong political parties in developing country democracies can lead firms' lobbying efforts to tend toward political corruption. Yadav's book is essential reading for scholars, policy makers, and managers who do business in emerging markets.
