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

Description

The RESPOND project proposes a novel interdisciplinary assessment of political corruption, seen here as conducts and acts, often proliferating in grey zones regarding legality, that results in decision-making bias and exclusion in the policy cycle. It does so by: 1) analyzing four contemporary and relevant forms of political influence (political finance, lobbying, revolving doors/personal ties and media capture); 2) evaluating how political corruption is understood by political elites and citizens and is socially constructed through media and education; 3) exploring how established and emerging digital technologies entangle with political corruption and how they improve anti-corruption and pro-integrity strategies at both national and cross-border levels; 4) engaging in co-creation with relevant stakeholders to design, test, and revise practices and tools including new risk indicators developed by RESPOND, to increase civic monitoring and integrity in current democracies.
