This is the question international lawyer James Cockayne addresses in his lecture, focusing on how criminal agendas affect conflict strategies and peace processes. Why is organized corruption so pervasive in post-conflict states -- and why does that continue to surprise us? Is organized crime necessarily a problem for development? What should we be doing differently?
