Perhaps unsurprisingly, many countries that are ranked high on indices of disaster risk and vulnerability are in conflict or post-conflictsituations (Maplec-roft, 2014, UNU, 2013). At the global scale, corruption has reached dimensions that dwarf development efforts (Lewis and Kelman, 2012): global proceeds from criminal activities, corruption and tax evasion that flow freely across international borders are estimated at US$1 trillion to US$1.6 trillion per annum (United Nations and World Bank, 2007). Illicit financial flows from low and middle-income countries from 2003 to 2012 were US$6.6 trillion, equivalent to almost 10 times the flow of overseas development assistance (GFI, 2014).
