Central government; Political corruption; Economics of industrial organisation; Development economics

This edited volume delves into Sierra Leone’s complex post-conflict landscape. It

posits that the nation’s path to peace and stability hinges on robust anticorruption measures. The chapters explore Sierra Leoneans’ unique perception of

corruption, reflecting its political, economic, legal and socio-cultural dimensions.

Moving away from mere theoretical abstraction, the book pulls together

fascinating practical discussions on the success and challenges of anti-corruption

tools used in Sierra Leone. Approaches used to explain corruption in this postwar fragile democratic country include issues like non-conviction-based asset

recovery and how it works; unexplained wealth exposes lifestyle offences,

accountability of the judiciary and how judicial institutions can become a

predator; the role of the media in the fight against corruption; the part of culture

and history in engraining corruption; patrimonialism as an explanation of

corruption; ad social norms and sociological exposition to explain corruption.
