The most recent special issue of the International Development Policy journal explores the topic of African Cities and the Development Conundrum. The issue includes an article co-authored by the Basel Institute's Head of Governance Research, Dr Claudia Baez Camargo, and Dr Lucy Koechlin of the University of Basel.

The Public Governance team of the Basel Institute on Governance has contributed an entry to the recent Public Administration Review's Blog Symposium dedicated to the topic of corruption. The title of the entry is "Informal networks: the invisible drivers of corruption and implications for anti-corruption practice".

It was published in UniNova, the University of Basel's research magazine. Read Claudia's opinion piece here.
