Chayes</b> is a former special assistant to the chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and two commanders of the
international forces in Afghanistan. Ms. Chayes lived and
worked in that country for nearly a decade, initially in the
development sector. Convinced that corruption was key to the
burgeoning conflict, she worked on anti-corruption policy for
several years. At
<a href="http://carnegieendowment.org/" target="_blank">Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace</a>, Sarah Chayes is
expanding the aperture, working on the role of corruption in
helping fuel international security crises ranging from the
East-West standoff in Ukraine to the spread of Boko Haram and
ISIL, to symbiotic alliances between corrupt governments and
organized criminal networks in Latin America and Eastern
Europe. She is the author of
