Abstract

This chapter delves into the concept of strategic corruption, defining it as the aggressive use of malign influence by foreign states to achieve political and economic goals. It explores how Russia has employed strategic corruption as a tool in its aggression against Ukraine, including the use of organized crime, high-level corruption practices, and the manipulation of international organizations. The text also discusses the broader implications of strategic corruption for global security and international order, highlighting the need for a concerted response at the international policy level. Additionally, it examines the role of strategic corruption in Russia's broader 'active measures' foreign policy strategy and the need for a shared responsibility framework to address the issue. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the importance of recognizing strategic corruption as a threat to national security and the modern international order based on international law.
