Emil Salim's Books

A unique report of the current status and future survival of the world's forests compiled by an international independent commission.

Challenging Corruption in Asia provides an analytical framework to explore and attempt to answer these questions. Drawing on their experience as public policy advisors and implementers of anticorruption programs, the authors outline a six-step approach to developing effective anticorruption strategies tailored specifically to a country's pattern of corruption and conditions of governance. Case studies are written by researchers and policy advisors from Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and South Korea. Together, they illustrate the impact of country-specific patterns of corruption and governance on anticorruption effectiveness. Emphasis is placed on choosing anticorruption instruments suited to the governance environment, on the key roles played by anticorruption champions, especially civil society organizations and the media, and on the need to make information on the extent and perceptions of corruption widely available." --Résumé de l'éditeur.

By adopting ideas like “development,” members of a Papua New Guinean community find themselves continuously negotiating what can be expected of a relative or a community member. Nearly half the people born on the remote Mbuke Islands become teachers, businessmen, or bureaucrats in urban centers, while those who stay at home ask migrant relatives “What about me?” This detailed ethnography sheds light on remittance motivations and documents how terms like “community” can be useful in places otherwise permeated by kinship. As the state withdraws, Mbuke people explore what social ends might be reached through involvement with the cash economy.
