#Corruption used to be analyzed through the socio-economic lens and has been considered as a threat undermining welfare-state. Now, the lens is shifting toward #securitization, meaning that corruption can be a threat to the state itself and #democratic regimes especially.Looking forward to #IACC2024

Eine großartige Fortsetzung der berühmten Thesen von Prof. Klaus Gestwa zum russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine. In kürzer Zeit sachliche und vierseitige Analyse. Sehr empfehlenswert. bit.ly/3QjQGWR

A burning question about #Ukraine is "How did russian invasion affect informal aspects of the Ukraine's political economy?" The volume by Magyar&Madlovics addresses it: bit.ly/496zrRq In my chapter, I argue that the positive dynamic in #anticorruption is an outcome of the changing social contract.

Am kommenden Donnerstag, 19.10 werde ich in der Württembergischen Landesbibliothek in Stuttgart einen Vortrag zur #Korruption und #Anti-Korruption in der #Ukraine halten. Gerne kann man auch online teilnehmen und mitdiskutieren (ich versuche genügend Zeit für die Fragen zu lassen ;)

Do you have an elegant and effective way to abandon X? Or are you managing both? and if so why?

Die Neutralität im rechtswidrigen Angriffskrieg wird massiv AUSgenutzt. Wer neutral bleiben will und ruzzland vorm Verlieren schütz, macht sich zum "useful idiot." - "Die Schweiz avanciert immer mehr zur Basis für Moskaus Geheimdienste.Das sind über 80 Agenten." www.nzz.ch/nzz-am-sonnt...

During the seminar with the anti-corruption students in Ukraine we discussed if it's justified to have elections under Martial Law. One idea stroke me: "The only demand on the input side to the political system right now is to win this war!" Can anyone pass this to the decision-makers in Germany?

Any ideas how to channel all the frustration after such a week (and it's not even over) in a constructive way? Democracies sinking in populism, German politics indecisive and ruzzia continues its large scale terror.
