Show Notes

Since 2019, USIP — in partnership with USAID — has convened a working group to study how elite capture in security sectors contributes to violence. Using case studies from Afghanistan, Mexico, Uganda and Ukraine, the working group’s newly released final report, “Elite Capture and Corruption of Security Sectors,” distills the phenomenon of elite capture and examines how U.S. assistance affects the dynamics, rationales and tactics of elite manipulation. On May 5, USIP hosted a conversation with the working group’s co-chairs as they presented findings from the final report.
