Negotiating peace and confronting corruption

Key ingredients are identified for building integrity into new governments: establishing cease-fires, negotiating future governance and anticorruption reforms, adequate and timely development assistance to implement the reforms, and continuing public participation in postagreement negotiations. The effectiveness of anticorruption measures are discussed along with best practices to build legitimate criminal justice systems, transparent and accountable legislative and political systems, effective governance practices, independent media, and sustainable economies in postconflict societies.
