I am in process of co-organizing an interdisciplinary research network
for scholars interested in corruption and anti-corruption. This
corruption research network will be called Corenet. Most of the board
members (from Birmingham, Nottingham, Melbourne, Bremen, etc.) on the
Corenet board are from political science, policy studies and development
studies. At present, I am the only anthropologist. Much corruption
"research" consists of documentation, measurement, and consulting
reports on anti-corruption programs. This network would take a broader
view, including issues of governance, trust-building, social capital,
and analysis of the anti-corruption industry itself (which is my own
interest). The site will include a database, mailing list, and a 2008
research conference. We are also seeking funding. If you, your
colleagues, or doctoral students are interested in these issues, please
contact me at steven.sampson at soc.Lu.se.
