Cross Border Corruption and Anti-Corruption in the Digital Age

Abstract

In an increasingly interconnected world, complex corruption networks transcend national borders, evading traditional accountability mechanisms and challenging state-level regulations. Addressing these challenges requires robust transnational anti-corruption strategies. Digital technologies, such as AI and blockchain, play a dual role in this landscape: on the one hand, they facilitate corruption by enabling the seamless cross-border flow of money, influence, and power; on the other, they offer powerful tools for combating corruption through AI-driven solutions, advanced big data analytics, and enhanced transparency mechanisms. This panel aims to promote an interdisciplinary discussion by offering empirical (quantitative, qualitative, experimental, and mixed-method) and theoretical contributions that explore the multifaceted dynamics of cross-border corruption and anti-corruption in the digital age. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Case studies of transnational corruption and anti-corruption initiatives. - The impact of digital technologies on cross-border corruption networks. - AI and big data analytics as tools for promoting integrity and transparency. - Comparative analyses of anti-corruption strategies across borders. - Theoretical frameworks addressing the interplay between corruption and digitalization.
