Sinopsis

"Corruption and Development in Asian Nations" examines the pervasive issue of corruption in Asia, ranging from local officials' demands for accommodation to multi-million dollar bribery by corrupt politicians. We explore how corruption affects various sectors, including job-related abuses, future job delivery in the private sector, and issues faced by law-abiding government employees. The book also covers topics like money laundering and ‘white elephant’ projects that benefit engineers and their political allies.
Divided into four main sections—corruption and the state, corruption and economic development, corruption and society, and corruption control—this book discusses theories, stories, and trends of corruption and anti-corruption reforms in Asia. We compare and contrast corruption in different social and institutional contexts, examining both successful and unsuccessful efforts to control it and the lessons learned from these experiences.
This comprehensive guide appeals to students and scholars of Asian, political, and social sciences, offering valuable insights into the complexities of corruption and its impact on development.

    Social inequality is a fundamental issue in societies around the world, shaping access to resources, opportunities, and quality of life. It refers to the uneven distribution of wealth, power, and privileges among individuals and groups, often determined by factors such as class, race, gender, and education. While some level of inequality has existed in every human society, modern economic and social structures have amplified disparities, making it a crucial area of study for sociologists, policymakers, and activists. 
    Throughout history, social inequality has taken various forms, from rigid caste systems to economic hierarchies based on capitalism. Industrialization and globalization have contributed to both the expansion of wealth and the widening of income gaps, leaving marginalized communities struggling for economic security and social recognition. The effects of inequality are not just economic; they extend into healthcare, education, political representation, and overall well-being. 
    One of the most significant consequences of inequality is the limitation it places on social mobility. In an ideal society, individuals would have the opportunity to improve their social and economic standing based on merit and effort. However, entrenched social hierarchies often make it difficult for those born into poverty or discrimination to break free from their circumstances. Access to education, employment opportunities, and healthcare remains largely determined by socioeconomic status, further reinforcing generational cycles of disadvantage.

    "...the author does an admirable job of showing just how complicated and interconnected all the great patrician families were and how their jealousies and rivalries ultimately led to their undoing and the end of the great Roman Republic." — New York Journal of BooksThe political process that culminated in the transition from Republic to Empire in ancient Rome began with the military reform of Caius Marius in the last decades of the 2nd century BC. Following the Civil War and Sulla’s dictatorship, it developed further with the First Triumvirate of Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus, and two further civil wars. These wars, which saw Caesar pitted against Pompey, and Octavian fighting Anthony, ended in 27 BC with the rise to power of Octavian, the adoptive son of Caesar.  Before Augustus outlines a summary of the last years of the Roman Republic, weaving together the military, political, and social aspects. Scholar Natale Barca sets the protagonists within the complex societal and political system that they operated, analyzing their actions, and the epic battles that ensued.
