Description
Often, when we think about corruption, we think of abuse of power by those in public office for personal gain, such as financial gain through embezzlement, fraud, influence peddling and other forms of dishonesty. Reflecting on field research undertaken with Ghana Armed Forces and the Rwanda Defence Force, this paper inverts the idea of corruption in military institutions by examining how forms of gendered corruption manifest during the research encounter, and considers how corruption shapes the research findings.
