Corruption is a serious concern, one which can undermine state
legitimacy, exacerbate inequality, and affect trust between social
groups. Such effects are particularly problematic in societies that
have gone through violent conflict, and are struggling to rebuild
institutions, restore social trust, and recover economically. While
anti-corruption measures are increasingly integrated into
post-conflict programs, war-time structures and practices of
corruption often prevail. This book explores corruption in post-war
societies by focusing on the important issues of power, inequality
and trust. To understand post-war power structures, and the extent
to which they engrain, challenge, or transform corrupt practices,
we need to study what kind of peace has emerged. The empirical
cases in this book offer a variety of post-conflict situations,
demonstrating how corruption is played out in, depending on the
type and extent of international intervention, and in the case of a
victor's peace, a contested peace, a partial peace etc. The
chapters illustrate the experiences and perceptions of people on
the ground in post-conflict societies, and by giving much space to
local dynamics, the book shifts the focus from external
intervention and actors to local contexts, striving for greater
understanding of the interplay between corruption, power,
inequality, and trust in post-war societies. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Third World Quarterly.
