No Peace Without Tackling Corruption? Why Peacebuilders Should Be Thinking About Corruption

Speaker Diana Chigas, Professor of the Practice in International Negotiation and Conflict Resolution, Co-Director, Corruption, Justice & Legitimacy Program, The Fletcher School, Tufts University will explore the idea that corruption can trigger conflict is well established. Yet, peacemaking and peacebuilding efforts often ignore or inadequately address corruption, and even fewer anti-corruption initiatives consider the dynamics of conflict. Why does this happen, and why is addressing corruption crucial for sustainable peace?

In this talk, Chigas will draw on her background in both peacebuilding and anti-corruption in fragile regions, to explore the relationship between these two efforts. She will address the challenges and strategies needed to bridge the divide between peacebuilding and anti-corruption practices, enhancing the effectiveness and sustainability of both fields.
