A historical, analytical, thought provoking dissertation which has evolved into this book...it does take us on a journey with Dr. Hawthorne as she tracks and documents Transparency International over 15 years, but more importantly, the book examines other indices and perceptions globally. -- Dirk Harrison, Contractor General, Jamaica Do International Corruption Metrics Matter: The Impact of Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index, is a must read for scholars and students of International Relations. It is also an invaluable tool for government agencies wishing to understand and improve their corruption perception rating. Within its pages Dr. Hawthorne documents and examines Transparency International's yearly reports for a period of 15 years and makes insightful and thought provoking observations. -- Lloyd Waller, University of the West Indies, Mona Good governance is at the centre of the development debates. Sadly, corruption remains a significant impediment to the development of many middle-income states such as Jamaica where there are considerable opportunities of corruption and weak systems of accountability. In this book, Dr. Hawthorne takes on this critical issue. She breaks new ground in exploring the impact of the publication of Transparency International's CPI (form of public shaming) on behavior of critical development actors, and does this with insight and courage. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in development and good governance. -- Anthony Harriott, University of the West Indies, Mona
