This report examines the ways in which fluctuating levels of peace and corruption within a country affect each other. In general, it concludes that the influence is one-sided -- i.e., changing degrees of corruption impact the level of peace that exists but not the other way around. The report's other key findings are that 1) if a certain threshold of corruption is reached within a society, additional small increases can result in large decreases in peace; and 2) countries with the strongest democratic institutions do indeed tend to be the most peaceful and least corrupt.
