For a very large part of the world's population, poverty and war are still part of everyday life. Drawing on insights from several disciplines, this book attempts to find scientific answers to explain the relationship between conflict and poverty.

This interdisciplinary volume brings together a range of arguments that synthesize both democratic and capitalist peace theory. Supported by a large body of research, contributors contend that nations with institutions that maximize individual political and civil rights minimize the probability of fighting each other. The volume includes:

• contributors from leading and award winning scholars in the field, including Bruce Russett and Erik Gartzke
• topics such as democratization and economic development, situated within the broader contexts of globalization and modernization
• contributions supported by empirical analyses, systematizing democratic and capitalist peace theories

This book will be vital reading for students and scholars of International Relations and globalization, and also for a broader range of subjects including sociology, political science and economics.

Der Band widmet sich der Vermittlung von Kompetenzen und Wissen zu den Themen Korruption und Korruptionsbekampfung in unterschiedlichen Bildungseinrichtungen und Wissenschaftsdisziplinen. Es werden ubergreifende methodische, empirische und theoretische Themen ebenso behandelt wie verschiedene Anwendungsfelder und Veranstaltungsformate. Die Bereiche Verwaltung, Wirtschaft und Zivilgesellschaft werden praxisnah angesprochen. Der Sammelband schliesst eine Lucke in der wissenschaftlichen Korruptionsliteratur, die bisher uberwiegend die Forschung, aber kaum die Perspektive der Wissensvermittlung in unterschiedlichen Kontexten thematisiert hat.

Der Sammelband analysiert aus einer interdisziplinaren Perspektive Auswirkungen der Corona-Pandemie auf Korruptionsformen, Korruptionsbekampfung und Korruptionsforschung. So werden insbesondere spezifische Korruptionsgefahren durch die weitreichenden staatlichen Massnahmen zur Eindammung der Pandemie und ihrer Folgen in den Blick genommen. Theoretische und uberblicksartige Eroerterungen werden erganzt durch empirische Fallstudien zu Brasilien und Deutschland. Ein Beitrag thematisiert Gemeinsamkeiten von COVID-19 und Korruption hinsichtlich der Erhebung von Umfragedaten. Der Band versammelt vor allem politikwissenschaftliche, soziologische und rechtswissenschaftliche Untersuchungen.
