Scrupulous, Thorough, Fearless — The CPIB Story chronicles the journey of the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) from its beginnings to the present. The narrative contained within the pages of this book contextualises the role of the Bureau in Singapore's nation-building journey. The creation of the Bureau and its history and heritage are closely intertwined with the birth and history of Singapore.It starts by providing an account of how corruption had become so prevalent in pre-war Singapore. The experiences of war, characterised by extreme shortages, hunger and privation, provided further impetus for many to resort to corrupt ways to get what they needed and coveted in the post-war period. This Bureau was established to clean up the corruption of the day, an endeavour which contributed to the birth of a strong nation whose people shared a common ethos of integrity. Singapore's reputation for being corruption-free has since been one of the pillars of the nation's economic success.

„Aș fi fericit ca cititorul care va parcurge această carte să o închidă cu inima bătându-i de indignare și cu un «așa nu se mai poate».“ — ȘTEFAN LIICEANU Suntem în fața unui eveniment editorial. În cei 20 de ani de la înființare, Direcția Națională Anticorupție a produs anual rapoarte detaliate. Doar că aceste rapoarte, în lipsa unui efort analitic laborios și a unei sinteze pe măsură, rămân o masă amorfă de cifre, din care nu rezultă nimic limpede. Paginile acestei cărți ne pun pentru prima oară în fața unei sinteze la zi a cercetărilor pe plan internațional legate de corupție – modele, concepte, teorii, experimente, o vastă bibliografie. Ceea ce rezultă este o conceptualizare acreditată științific a corupției. Sunt depășite definitiv atât indignarea facilă la adresa răului care ne macină țara, cât și respingerea, la fel de facilă, a gravității corupției autohtone cu argumente de genul „în toate țările există corupție“. Da, există peste tot, dar în țările civilizate corupția a devenit un fenomen marginal, în timp ce la noi, conform standardelor universale expuse în carte, corupția e „pandemică“ și ne vlăguiește țara. Combinând seriozitatea demersului cu stilul narativ și scene neverosimile, dar cât se poate de reale (fiecare pagină se citește pe nerăsuflate), cartea oferă o imagine fotografică a corupției din România. O carte pentru toți românii doritori să înțeleagă în ce fel de țară trăiesc și cum o pot schimba în mod real. Pentru jurnaliști, pentru activiștii civici, pentru politicienii încă onești sau pentru viitorul președinte al României, ea este o mină de aur. Valoarea maximă a pierderilor din corupție, inclusiv costul economic de oportunitate (tot ce a pierdut România ratând oportunitățile favorabile), este de 15% din PIB, adică nu mai puțin de 45 de miliarde de euro pe an. Acesta este costul în absența căruia România ar fi fost la fel de dezvoltată ca cele mai avansate țări din Vestul Europei. Dacă nu am mai fi sărăciți de corupție și evaziune fiscală, s-ar putea înfăptui ceea ce mulți ar considera a fi „miracole“. În țările civilizate, oamenii – în calitatea lor de cetățeni – nu se lasă călcați în picioare și abuzați de o clasă politică și de instituții publice corupte și nu uită că aceia care au fost aleși să le reprezinte interesele au de dat socoteală clipă de clipă poporului care i-a ales. Gradul de democrație al unui popor este direct proporțional cu gradul de prevenție și control al corupției.

This is the story of the money used from pre-colonial times to the present day on the island we know as Singapore. This signature book describes the multiplicity of currencies that have been used in and around the island over the centuries, and how these culminate in the Singapore dollar today. The authors trace the impact, sometimes dramatic, of political and economic events and technological forces shaping these currencies. Singapore has followed its own development path, from the days when, in the first few decades of the colonial settlement, local merchants resisted currency reforms imposed on the island by the East India Company. Greater monetary autonomy was achieved in the second half of the 19th century when Singapore became a Crown colony in its own right. The drive towards self-representation culminated in full internal self-government in 1959, independence from British colonial rule in 1963 as part of the Federation of Malaysia, and the status of a sovereign nation in 1965. The introduction of Singapore's own currency in 1967 was a national milestone. In 1971, Singapore established the Monetary Authority of Singapore with the sovereign power to undertake monetary policy as it deemed most appropriate. Money has evolved from coins minted from precious metals to those struck from baser metals, to notes issued first by commercial banks and later by governments. The journey from commodity-based money to a purely fiat money has unfolded in parallel. The use of money in its electronic and more 'weightless' forms has also become increasingly common. The powerful effects this trend will have on the nature of money and banking are still unfolding. All these issues, and more, are examined in this book, published to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of Singapore's central bank, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), in January 1971.

This open access book presents case studies of twelve organisations which the public have come to view as institutions. From the BBC to Doctors Without Borders, from the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra to CERN, this volume examines how some organisations rise to prominence and remain in high public esteem through changing and challenging times. It builds upon the scholarly tradition of institutional scholarship pioneered by Philip Selznick, and highlights common themes in the stories of these highly diverse organizations; demonstrating how leadership, learning, and luck all play a role in becoming and remaining an institution. This case study format makes this volume ideal for classroom use and practitioners alike. In an era where public institutions are increasingly under threat, this volume offers concrete lessons for contemporary organisation leaders. Arjen Boin is Professor of Public Institutions and Governance at the Department of Political Science, Leiden University, Netherlands. Paul 't Hart is Professor of Public Administration at the Utrecht School of Governance, Utrecht University, Netherlands. Lauren A. Fahy is a PhD Fellow at the Utrecht School of Governance, Utrecht University, Netherlands.

This academic study examines how corruption is controlled in six Asian countries, namely Hong Kong, India, Mongolia, the Philippines, Singapore and South Korea. These countries illustrate between them three patterns of corruption control in Asian countries. Pattern 1 is demonstrated by Mongolia, which has anti-corruption laws but no independent agency. Pattern 2 is illustrated by India and the Philippines as they have many anti-corruption laws and anti-corruption agencies. Pattern 3 refers to the implementation of anti-corruption legislation by an independent anti-corruption agency and is best exemplified by Singapore and Hong Kong. South Korea has moved from Pattern 1 to Pattern 3 with the formation of the Korean Independent Commission against Corruption in 2002.

The Decline Of Constitutional Democracy In Indonesia written by Herbert Feith and has been published by Equinox Publishing this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2007 with Political Science categories.
This is an intensive study of Indonesian politics from the attainment of full independence in December 1949 to the proclamation of martial law in March 1957, and President Soekarno's subsequent establishment of "guided democracy". It is intended as a contribution to the ongoing discussion of democracy in the new states of Asia and Africa, of the ways in which Western political institutions are transformed when employed in non-Western social settings, and of the obstacles to be overcome if such institutions are to operate in consonance with the authority systems of new nations and with their solution of economic and administrative problems. Now brought back into print as a member of Equinox Publishing's Classic Indonesia series, The Decline of Constitutional Democracy is considered to be the definitive study of Indonesia in the 1950s and will be of great interest to the growing number of social scientists concerned with the pre-industrial nations and in particular with their efforts to use and adapt Western political institutions. This is a solid and scholarly account, but, writing on the basis of much personal observation, Dr. Feith manages to present his material in such a way that readers with no previous background in the subject will be able to follow the book almost as easily as will specialists. HERBERT FEITH (1930-2001) became familiar with Indonesia during 1951-53 and 1954-56 when he was an English Language Assistant with the Ministry of Information of the Republic of Indonesia. A citizen of Australia, he received an M.A. degree from the University of Melbourne in 1955 and a Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1961. He was a Research Fellow in the Department of Pacific History, Australian National University, from 1960 to 1962 and was Chair of Politics at Monash University from 1968 until 1974.
