Corruption and post-conflict peacebuilding: selling the peace?

This edited volume explores and evaluates the roles of corruption in post-conflict peacebuilding. The problem of corruption has become increasingly important in war to peace transitions, eroding confidence in new democratic institutions, undermining economic development, diverting scarce public resources, and reducing the delivery of vital social services. Conflict-affected countries offer an ideal environment for pervasive corruption. Their weak administrative institutions and fragile legal and judicial systems mean that they lack the capacity to effectively investigate and punish corrupt beh

This volume brings together leading international scholars and practitioners to develop a framework for thinking about character and impact of corruption in peacebuilding environments, and examines them in the context of different case studies.
