The Anti-Corruption Trap
Political Prosecutions and Power in Post-Revolution Armenia

Book Details
About this book:

The Anti-Corruption Trap Discover how a revolutionary promise of purity can morph into a powerful weapon of political control. *The Anti‑Corruption Trap* takes you inside Armenia’s Velvet Revolution, showing how the fervor to eradicate graft was quickly repurposed to settle scores, silence dissent, and consolidate power—turning the very tools of justice into instruments of oppression.

Through a gripping, blow‑by‑blow account of the Tevanyan espionage case, the book reveals the mechanics of weaponized accusations, the manipulation of evidence, and the chilling effect on civil society and the economy. You’ll see how legal proceedings, media narratives, and international scrutiny intertwine to expose a pattern that echoes far beyond the South Caucasus.

Ideal for readers of political history, human rights, and comparative democracy, this cautionary tale offers both a deep dive into a pivotal moment in Armenia’s recent past and a universal warning about the dangers when anti‑corruption campaigns become politicized. Arm yourself with the insight needed to recognize—and resist—the trap before it snaps shut.
