Dear all, We are pleased to announce a call for abstracts for our panel "Methodological, Ethical and Security Challenges of Corruption Research" at the ECPR Conference 2023 (Prague, Sept. 4-8) within Section 17: “Corruption: from development problem to global security threat”. Here you can find more information about the section: https://ecpr.eu/Events/Event/SectionDetails/1306 Panel outline: Corruption scholars and practitioners alike emphasize the need for theory-based and context-embedded empirical research. At the same time, researchers acknowledge that corruption is difficult to research empirically. As the field continues to grow, there is a need for summarizing general practices, methodological choices and challenges of the corruption and anti-corruption research community. We invite contributions, either papers or reflections, on the methodological, security and ethics challenges faced when conducting empirical research on corruption or anti-corruption, as well as papers or reflections on how to overcome these challenges. Please submit titles, abstracts and 3-8 keywords to the chair and co-chair of the panel until February 24 (midnight CET): Ilona Wysmulek (ilona.wysmulek@gmail.com) and Marina Povitkina (marina.povitkina@gu.se) Best Regards, Ilona Wysmulek Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw ilona.wysmulek@gmail.com Marina Povitkina University of Oslo, University of Gothenburg marina.povitkina@gu.se
