Conclusions."In a refreshing departure from existing literature on corruption, Anti-Corruption Strategies in Fragile States takes a public administration perspective, studying the role of organisational factors in the success of organisational anti-corruption strategies. It is widely acknowledged that governance and anti-corruption interventions play a crucial role in reducing fragility and building legitimate and resilient institutions. Policy makers have re-framed development goals for fragile states to achieve stability by addressing their special characteristics: weak institutions and governance; low capacity and legitimacy in government; and vulnerability to violence. This book shows how anti-corruption and state-building policies are often disconnected or incoherent, and how executional challenges prevent strategies from translating into results." -- Back cover.CorruptionDeveloping countriesPreventionHumanitarian assistanceDeveloping countriesCorruptionPrevention.Humanitarian assistance363.259323091724Johnsøn Jesper1247340MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154922403321Anti-corruption strategies in fragile states2891677UNINA
