ACE Seminar Series: 'Strategic Corruption: Unpacking its meaning and global implications'

Written By Lyndsey Hand

Join SOC ACE researcher, Dr Tena Prelec (University of Rijeka), and discussants Dr Bertram Lang (Philipps University Marburg) and Dr Claudia Baez Camargo (Basel Institute and GI ACE researcher) for a webinar to critically explore the concept of strategic corruption, an emerging framework for understanding the instrumental use of transnational corruption in advancing political and economic objectives. Drawing on case studies from various regions, the discussion will address the term’s value in explaining state strategies, agency and mechanisms; its limitations in both theory and practice; and the challenges in applying it across different geopolitical contexts. It will also reflect on the future direction of strategic corruption research, examining whether and how it can be refined and applied to current global issues such as authoritarianism, geopolitical competition, and state-sponsored illicit financial flows.

Following a 40-minute discussion, participants can engage with the panellists through a 20-minute Q&A. Click here for further information or register for the zoom webinar via the link below!
