Political Graft in Europe on the Loose
Anti-Corruption Legal Frameworks in Comparative Historical Perspective
This report offers a comparative analysis of anti-corruption regulation in political finance, lobbying, revolving-door practices and media across nine Western and Central-Eastern European countries: Sweden, the Netherlands, the UK, France, Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, Serbia and Ukraine. It applies a social-constructivist lens, which treats laws as fundamentally socially and politically embedded.
The study was conducted as part of the EU-funded project RESPOND (Rescuing Democracy from Political Corruption in Digital Societies). National partners contributed country-specific chapters, while the Institute for Global Analytics was responsible for the comparative chapter and for editing and publishing the report. Transcrime authored Chapter 6 on Italy.
