The book explores the behavior of governing parties in post-communist democracies, focusing on their dual role in state reconstruction and resource extraction. It reveals how these parties, while exploiting state resources and delaying oversight, also established new institutions that enabled further extraction. Through case studies from several countries, the author demonstrates that even opportunistic parties can constrain their corrupt practices when confronted with robust political competition, offering insights into the dynamics of party politics in transitional states.
