Occasional Paper #26:OP:2 (2005)
By Emil Bolongaita
 
Abstract

Corruption is one of the biggest challenges to sustaining peace. This is because post-conflict environments present great opportunities and low punitive risks for corrupt activity, Bolongaita argues. The opportunities for and scope of corruption are enhanced because post-conflict countries often attract high levels of aid. Bolongaita explains the impact of corruption, and details three tasks necessary for controlling it.
 
Emil Bolongaita (M.A. Peace Studies '89) is deputy chief of party of the Rule of Law Effectiveness Program of the U.S. Agency for International Development in the Philippines.
