Corruption in the Eurasian region manifests itself in many ways. Politicians using state power to accumulate private wealth and the misuse of public funds effectively erodes the public legitimacy of most governments in the region. Similarly, foreign aid spent in Afghanistan to reconstruct and rebuild its economy often ends up in the pockets of warlords, further fuelling the military conflict in the country. Corruption thus manifests itself in many ways, not least in the financial and security realms. What can be done to tackle this deeply rooted corruption and what are its main implications for the region?
