New Trends in Corruption Research: Conference at the American Center

When: November 28, 2007 
Where: American Center

Corruption is one of the most serious problems facing the Czech Republic and other democracies around the world. Corruption not only has a negative impact on economic performance and democratic governance, but also on the entire social fabric. Yet policies and proposals aimed at effectively fighting corruption are often divorced from academic scholarship, such as new research on the causes of corruption, its measurement, and its relationship to other social phenomena like trust and inequality. Without the contributions of research, poorly designed anti-corruption policies could lead to false hopes and the failure to address the sources of the problem. That’s why it is so important to bring academics and policy-makers into active dialogue.
