Speaking on C-SPAN, Carnegie’s Sarah Chayes drew on her experience in Afghanistan, Nigeria, and other parts of the world, as well as recent events such as the leak of the Panama Papers, to point to the pervasive nature of corrupt networks and to argue that corruption fuels violent extremism. Chayes also responded to viewer comments and questions at the Los Angeles Times Book Festival, where her book, Thieves of State, was awarded the prize in the “Current Interest” category.
