The POLITICANTI project aims at investigating the politicisation of corruption as an issue and of anticorruption initiatives, by shedding light on the success or failure of political actors in adapting to and strategically utilising them.

 The project will adopt a multidisciplinary approach focusing on a diachronic perspective on Italy, a country where the issue has become salient since the aftermath of the “Mani Pulite” judicial inquiry in the 1990s.
