Collection of legislative and regulatory data as part of the Respond Project

The RESPOND project proposes an interdisciplinary and innovative assessment of political corruption, understood here as a range of behaviours and actions that are often located in grey areas of legality, and which have the effect of inducing biases in decision-making and the political cycle. It is structured around several themes: 1) analysis of four contemporary forms of political influence (political finance, lobbying, pantouflage/personal connections and media capture); 2) assessing the perception of political corruption by elites and citizens and its social construction through the media and education; 3) exploring the interactions between digital technologies (established or emerging) and political corruption, and their role in improving anti-corruption and pro-integrity strategies at national and international level; 4) the co-creation with stakeholders of practices and tools to strengthen civic oversight and integrity in contemporary democracies - including the evaluation of original risk indicators developed by the project.
