Summary/Abstract: Recent theoretical developments and case studies suggest a close relationship between the management model of the army and other institutions in one country. This study contributes to this literature by analyzing theoretically and practically the role that the Tunisia’s DOD should play in the fight against corruption. Drawing on a cross-sectional and panel dataset covering challenges faced by the DOD, substantial empirical support is found for a positive relationship between the military and anti-corruption. This relationship is found to be robust to a variety of specification changes, different econometric techniques, different sample sizes, and alternative corruption indices. This study suggests that the way the military institution is managed is as important as the conventionally accepted causes of corruption. It also provides recommendations aimed at more transparency in the management of the Tunisian armed forces.
