Illicit Outsourcing
States are increasingly outsourcing clandestine and covert tasks to organised criminal actors. This article maps those relationships across four areas – criminals as covert operatives; as professional service providers; crime as a weapon; and crime as covert funding – and develops a state-domain matrix for analysing them. Drawing on lessons from stabilisation and counterinsurgency, Heather Marquette and Matthew Redhead contend that purely operati…

What Does the Evidence Tell Us about ‘Thinking and Working Politically’ in Development Assistance
This article provides a critical review of the evidence on ‘thinking and working politically’ (TWP) in development. Scholars and practitioners have increasingly recognised that development is a fundamentally political process, and there are concerted efforts underway to develop more politically-informed and adaptive ways of thinking and working in providing development assistance. However, while there are interesting and engaging case studies in …
Thinking politically about corruption as problem‐solving
Grappling with the "real politics" of systemic corruption
A growing body of research argues that anticorruption efforts fail because of a flawed theoretical foundation, where collective action theory is said to be a better lens for understanding corruption than the dominant principal-agent theory. We unpack this critique and advance several new arguments. First, the application of collective action theory to the issue of corruption has been, thus far, incomplete. Second, a collective action theory-based…
Empowered patient" or "doctor knows best"? Political economy analysis and ownership
Efforts to incorporate “political thinking” into policy-making and practice in OECD-DAC development agencies have increasingly focused on the use of “political economy analysis” (PEA) frameworks and tools. While recognising the fundamental value of promoting politically informed programming, this article nevertheless highlights how contemporary efforts to this end have largely ignored another central development agenda: the ownership paradigm. Em…
Religion and attitudes towards corruption in India
This paper argues that religion influences the ways that people think and speak about corruption, typically leading to condemnation. However, it is also argued that, in a systemically corrupt country, such condemnation is unlikely to influence actual corrupt behaviour. Based on fieldwork in India, the paper finds that existing anti-corruption policies based on a principal-agent understanding of corruption, even if they incorporate religious organ…
Finding God' or 'Moral Disengagement' in the Fight Against Corruption in Developing Countries? Evidence From India and Nigeria
There are growing calls for religion to be used in the fight against corruption on the basis of the assumption that religious people are more concerned with ethics than with the non-religious, despite the fact that many of the most corrupt countries in the world also rank highly in terms of religiosity. This article looks at the evidence in the current literature for a causal relationship between religion and corruption and questions the relevanc…

Donors, State Building and Corruption
This article critically analyses the state-building agenda from a governance and aid policy perspective, and from an anti-corruption viewpoint in particular, highlighting potential problems with both theoretical and practical applications of state building in a development context. Inconsistencies and contradictions between the state building and anti-corruption work have not been adequately explored or reconciled. In particular, the article expl…
The UK, the Commonwealth and corruption
Donors currently place emphasis on the need to address corruption in an increasingly coordinated fashion as part of their support for the wider development and democratisation agenda. Findings from country study reports which used the National Integrity System (NIS) approach for assessing types and levels of corruption indicate both that corruption persists and that donor coordination is evidenced in developing the resultant anti-corruption strat…

The Creeping Politicisation of the World Bank
This paper looks at the increasing politicisation of the World Bank through its work on corruption. Historically, the Bank's Articles of Agreement, which forbid it from involving itself in the politics of its recipient countries, have excluded work on corruption. In the 1990s, internal and external demands grew for the Bank to address the problem of corruption, despite earlier reticence. Much research done over the past decade, often commissioned…
Corruption, Politics and Development
In 1997, the World Bank announced a strategy to help its borrowers combat corruption, despite earlier claims that work of this kin violated the Bank's non-political mandate. Despite many attempts to r
