Money in essential for electoral politics yet its use and abuse often raises problems of graft, corruption, and cronyism. To throw new light on these challenges, this book addresses three questions: what types of public policies are commonly used around the world to regulate the role of money in politics? What triggers landmark reforms in political finance? And, 'what works,' what fails, and why - when countries reform regulations? Checkbook Elections? compares a diverse range of affluent societies and long-established democracies such as Sweden, Britain and the United States, as well as emerging economies such as Russia, South Africa, India, and Brazil.
