520 1 $a"State of Corruption, State of Chaos takes the reader into a thorny world of political dysfunction. The contributions speak to some of the most potent security threats facing us in the twenty-first century and examine the degree to which our inability or unwillingness to curb the spread of political corruption may be responsible. Within this volume are unique contributions to the rich and growing literature on corruption and conflict, addressing a variety of issues germane to both domestic affairs and international relations. They each seek to dissect the often convoluted and contestable connections between corruption and conflict." "Joining the quest to develop a coherent research program, contributors explore social and political implications for various policymaking levels. The edited volume will serve as a particularly useful reference for practitioners, as well as for professors and students of public administration and public policy, international relations, international law, comparative politics, security studies, and conflict resolution."--BOOK JACKET.
