Anti-Corruption Research Group The Anti-Corruption research group is a public forum for students, academics and professionals with the aim of engaging in discussion, readings and research projects on issues related to the prevention, understanding and problematization of corruption in society. The group is, in its nature, interdisciplinary because we think that in order to achieve a full understanding of and to provide solutions to a complex phenomenon as corruption a multidimensional approach is crucial. Corruption is not only detrimental to the correct functioning of democracy and to efficient business transactions, it bears heavy consequences on social justice, a country’s prosperity and citizens’ well-being. |
