Reviews
“Whistleblowers, and their protection, are integral parts of many corruption-control strategies. But whistleblowing is complicated business, fraught with a variety of risks, and its outcomes depend on many situational factors. In this book Apaza and Chang develop an excellent analysis, accompanied by wide-ranging case studies, that will be essential reading for anyone concerned with building lasting opposition to corruption.”
—Michael Johnston, Charles A. Dana Professor of Political Science, Emeritus Colgate University Hamilton, New York, USA
“Whistleblowing is a major means of providing invaluable institutional transparency. However, it is known to be fraught with deterrents and constraints limiting its effectiveness. With case studies of Belgium, Brazil, Finland, Japan, and the Philippines, Drs. Apaza and Chang's outstanding volume on What Makes Effective Whistleblowing: Global Comparative Studies from the Public and Private Sector greatly advances our knowledge of how to construct and implement highly efficacious whistleblowing policies, laws, and procedures. This book unquestionably merits a broad readership among scholars, practitioners, and students in the fields of public policy, administration, law, government, media studies, and transparency among others.”
—David H. Rosenbloom, Distinguished Professor of Public Administation, American University, USA
