KING'S GLOBAL (ANTI)CORRUPTION STUDIES (GACS)
Corruption is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that challenges many different countries and also threatens development and equality. Understanding the different manifestations of corruption and how to fight them requires multiple and simultaneous efforts.
The exchange of knowledge and information is key to not only better understanding how corruption operates in different contexts but also to empower concerned citizens to react against corruption and prevent it.
With this goal in mind, academics from the Global Institutes at King's College London created the Global (Anti)Corruption Studies (GACS) research group.

GACS promotes research and knowledge dissemination on corruption and anticorruption in the Global South and thereby contribute to decolonizing the corruption studies curriculum and democratizing the dialogue between policy makers, practitioners and the general public.
GACS has initially focused on Brazil and China, but we are expanding our scope to cover all the regions of the Global South.
