Undertaking and facilitating research is a central element of IACA’s mandate and helps to support the organization’s programmes and activities around the world. By making these outputs available to a broad audience, IACA intends to position itself as a centre of innovative thinking in anti-corruption and compliance.
Below is a small sample of research publications.
Research Papers
IACA professors and researchers conduct original research in the areas of collective action, compliance, and (private sector) anti-corruption with the aim of establishing new benchmarks and practice-oriented approaches.
Master’s Theses
Below are some examples of master’s theses by graduates of IACA’s Master in Anti-Corruption Studies (MACS) programme for which independent research was conducted. Publication of MACS theses on the IACA website is an ongoing process, and we will add more works as we secure the authors’ permissions for online publication. Hard copies of all MACS theses are available in the IACA library.
