Bibliography Print

There is a large body of written material on the issue of corruption generally, and also an extensive literature on defence reform and reform of the security sector. However, corruption in defence and corruption as an issue in security sector reform have recieved hardly any attention, despite wide acknowledgement that it is a crucial factor in defence and security reform. This bibliography represents the work of others that is directly relevant to this subject.
