| Summary: | Corruption and governance are increasingly popular topics for analysis. Contrary to the mainstream discussion of corruption,2 we propose that patterns of corruption must be analyzed in their political context because corruption is endogenous to the political process. Drawing from the literatures on the economics of conflict and appropriation, the economics of organized crime, and the political economy of dictatorships, we motivate the endogenous genesis of the kleptocratic state from a state of pure anarchy. 3 Warlords and their collaborators emerge as successful adaptations to the game of anarchy and they seek to usurp each other in a quest for hegemonic rule.
