In their new book Indulging Kleptocracy, John Heathershaw, Tena Prelec, and Tom Mayne offer an engaging inside account of the fight against kleptocracy in the UK. They build case studies of UK-based professionals enabling international kleptocrats by drawing on court documents and correspondence with the enablers themselves. The book develops an influential theory explaining the emergence of transnational kleptocracy and how it has transformed international politics. Foreign Affairs have selected the book as one of the best books of 2024.
