"A brilliant message on the moral, democratic, and economic issues of vote buying. But beyond this core message, the chapters present convincing evidence of why and how vote buying is not normal, and why it is undemocratic and inefficient. The book presents specific studies around the globe, and this is one strength of the material - it offers universal, though differently rich, cases. This is a welcome and timely publication." - Edna E. A. Co, co-author of Philippine Democracy Assessment: Minimizing Corruption"
