Countries afflicted by pervasive corruption function not as states that are failing, but as criminal networks that are succeeding, argued Sarah Chayes. Speaking on Interlochen Public Radio as part of the National Writers Series, Chayes spoke about her experiences living in Afghanistan for nearly a decade, growing up in a policy-oriented family, and her recent book Thieves of State: Why Corruption Threatens Global Security.
