University of Victoria Law Professor Gerry Ferguson’s new book Global Corruption : Law, Theory & Practice (3d ed) is now openly available on UVic Space and CanLII. Published by UVic, this two volume book is a valuable resource for professors, students, lawyers and anti-corruption practitioners alike.
