Peter Perry

Peter is a retired Reader in Geography from the University of Canterbury and author of two generally well received books on political corruption. His interest in political corruption led him to initiate a TI-NZ connection in the early 1990s which subsequently developed into a this chapter. This connection lapsed while I was resident in the UK (2001-2208) but also returning each year to teach summer school programme. The intellectual community was for the most part uninterested in contemporary political corruption 20 years ago. That situation has much improved but the change by no means complete and it is necessary to emphasise that the question to some degree resolves itself into one of ensuring that the lively and welcome growth of interest in business ethics is extended to other domains. He complements the essential business, political and legal expertise which the board possesses with the skill of the scholar engaged in researching and thinking through corruption in a variety of forms and places and at every scale from local to global over a twenty year period.

Murray Sheard
