In the coming months I will post further details and an official call for papers but meanwhile, please mark the date and location on your calendar.

For those who are not familiar with IPSA's structure, the Research Committee on Political Finance and Political Corruption is one of 49 research committees that carry on comparative research and meet regularly under the auspices of IPSA.

The objectives of the Committee on  Political Finance and Political Corruption:

The Committee studies the role of money in the political process and in social interaction with public authorities, including all aspects of campaign and party financing in political systems around the world, transnational payments aiming at the proliferation of democratic government as well as corruption in all its manifestations in individual and governmental behaviour.

Members of the research committee cooperate in developing concepts for the analysis of political finance and corruption in politics and administration as well as interactions between them. The committee aims to advance cross-national research and to encourage comparative analysis.
