Call for papers: Basel Institute will participate in the 5th World Sustainability Forum in Basel

The Basel Institute on Governance is organising a panel in the upcoming 5th World Sustainability Forum. Panel title: The elusive search for sustainable anti-corruption strategies: what have we overlooked?

After roughly twenty years since corruption has risen to a prominent place in the agenda of development practitioners, the results achieved in control of corruption outcomes across the global South continue to disappoint. In this panel we will explore different perspectives on why corruption proves so difficult to eradicate, what has been lacking in the current arsenal of so-called "best practices" associated with anti-corruption, and what new and more sustainable anti-corruption measures might look like.

Interested parties should submit their abstracts by 1st March to claudia.baez-camargo@baselgovernance.org or directly through the conference website.
