| Title | Post-Conflict Corruption Regimes: How Systemic Corruption has Derailed Economic Development in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo |
| Summary | The present thesis deals with the role of the international community in the corruption that often plagues post-war societies during periods of international mandate. Bosnia and Kosovo are the cases under study and their experiences show that the international community’s lack of preparation, reliance on neo-liberal economic policies that allow for passivity, and a failure to dismantle the criminal-political networks of wartime elites have contributed to corruption. This study is limited to the opportunities for corruption that emerged in how the international community undertook physical reconstruction and privatization and the policies of internationals are shown to be the major factor in the perseverance of corruption and its debilitating effects for economies of societies recovering from civil conflict. |
