Corruption is an entrenched symptom o f misgovernance often reflected in patronage, red tape, ineffective revenue-gene rating agencies, large-scale bribery in procurement, and failure to deliver serv ices to city dwellers. But when local officials are accountable to their citizen s, decisionmaking can become participatory. In turn, a participatory process can be the cornerstone of a strategy to reform 'sick' institutions and improve the welfare of city dwellers. 'Corrupt Cities' is an important contribution to this emerging field, addressing the historical, traditional, and cultural contexts th at create perverse incentives for corruption to exist.
