The research employed a {\textquoteleft}systematic literature review{\textquoteright} methodology to analyse leading academic databases, resulting in a detailed analysis of 59 peer-reviewed, published papers. It was found that while much of the literature focuses on earthquakes (relating to building and infrastructure collapse), the quality of governance and the drivers of corruption, there is presently limited scholarship concerning the general scope, reach and scale of how disasters are worsened by corruption. }, url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/disa.12500}, author = {David Sanderson and Sonny S.
