| Summary/Abstract |
The focus of this paper is on the social and economic aspects of corruption in Nigeria. Given the increasingly borderless nature of corruption and economic crime, this paper argues that a successful control campaign requires a coordinated response that will fuse domestic and international strategies. While the paper is wholly committed to the strategy of depriving criminals of their ill-gotten wealth, it acknowledges that the success that law enforcement agencies have had around the world in 'taking the profit out of crime' has been hitherto unimpressive. Drawing on the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), particularly Article 20, the paper argues that governments in developing economies should adopt the radical strategy of taxing unaccountable wealth and criminalising illicit enrichment.

| Summary/Abstract |
They are not the most sympathetic characters. Veasna Sany goes by her former gang name "China." She has been convicted of possession and sale of cocaine, battery, and prostitution. Gnan "Mikki" Kroeung's convictions include terrorist threats and possession of a firearm. "Pich," a former methamphetamine addict, was caught engaging in credit card fraud. They all served time in US prisons and would now be home with their families in Philadelphia and Long Beach-if they were American citizens. But they aren't. They are legal permanent residents of the United States who have been deported to Cambodia, a country their parents fled before they were born.

| Summary/Abstract |
This essay analyses the construction of the anti-corruption war under the civilian government in Nigeria between 1999 and 2008. We consolidate existing insights in the literature in three key ways. First, we show that in democratising contexts like Nigeria, the gravest threats to anti-corruption campaigns often emanate from a combination of intra-elite rancour and political intrigue. Second, we provide an explanation of what happens when, literally, corruption fights back. Finally, we suggest that where anti-corruption efforts are not backed by other radical institutional reforms, they fall prey to the overall endemic (systemic) crisis, a part of which, ab initio, necessitated the anti-corruption war.
