add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the political conditions in Asia. An official of Singapore, a state, which does not tolerate bureaucratic corruption, tells of his country's experience in opening an embassy in a neighboring country. A few years ago in the Philippines, Harry Stonehill became a millionaire many times over with equipment and raw materials either smuggled in with the connivance of customs officials or imported on licenses purchased with bribes. Not all corruption in Southeast Asia involves officials that close to government. The subject of corruption in the developing countries has received much attention in recent years, both from Western officials and from the international press.
