Zusammenfassung:1. What is a stabilising anti-corruption reform? Understanding corruption, anti-corruption and fragility -- 2. How to reduce corruption in fragile states: the theory -- 3. Aid agencies' anti-corruption strategies: comparing the World Bank, the EU and UNDP -- 4. Anti-corruption efforts in Afghanistan -- 5. 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
