Basel Peace Forum: Countering Strategic Corruption
This session at the Basel Peace Forum 2024 explores how strategic corruption influences geopolitics, stability and conflict, and where peace building and anti-corruption efforts should intersect.

In contrast, the use of corruption as an instrument of geopolitical strategy has long been underestimated.
