"This well researched, perceptive book constructs an important international discourse on governance. Democracy has come of age with right-to-information and anticorruption movements in the global south. Shaazka Beyerle demonstrates that, in unpacking centers of power, transparency ensures accountability in governance." —Aruna Roy, cofounder of India's Right to Information movement and Ramon Magsaysay Award laureate
"A rare work with insights for generations to come. When, as Beyerle writes, 'citizens join in raising their voices and use their collective power to fight corruption,' the countries of Africa and indeed most countries will be free." —Hauwa Ibrahim, human rights lawyer and Sakharov Prize laureate
"Curtailing Corruption is a hopeful book—showing how citizen engagement can produce real reform. It is also a practical book—explaining how mobilization happens and groups strategize. Its lessons ought to be learned by reformers worldwide. Positive change will not occur without patience, persistence, organization, and a willingness to take risks. There are no quick fixes." —Susan Rose-Ackerman, Yale University
