Corruption and Armed Conflicts: Some Stirring Around in the Governance Soup

Jens Christopher Andvig

No 2008-3, Economics Discussion Papers from Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW Kiel)

Abstract: The paper discusses the impact of corruption on the probability of violent conflict events and traces the shifts in the composition of corrupt transactions during and in the aftermath of violent conflicts in an informal way. So far there has been little interaction between empirical corruption research and the empirical research into civil wars. When the two strands of research are brought together and their results are combined, some patterns become apparent that would have been difficult to detect if the results within each field were analysed in isolation.
