Regina Elisabeta no. 38), to a debate with Ștefan Liiceanu, Gabriel Biriș and Cristian Preda, moderated by Cătălin Striblea, starting from the book “An atlas of corruption. Romania – 20 years of theft”, case study by Ștefan Liiceanu.

In the 20 years since its establishment, the National Anticorruption Directorate has produced detailed reports annually. It’s just that these reports, in the absence of a laborious analytical effort and a commensurate synthesis, remain an amorphous mass of figures, from which nothing clear emerges.

The pages of this book put us for the first time in front of an up-to-date synthesis of international research related to corruption – models, concepts, theories, experiments, a vast bibliography. What results is a scientifically accredited conceptualization of corruption. Combining the seriousness of the approach with the narrative style and scenes that are unbelievable, but as real as possible (each page is read with breathlessness), the book offers a photographic image of corruption in Romania. The book is available in bookstores all over the country, but also on libhumanitas.ro
