The 26th virtual roundtable on measuring corruption will be held on February 13th (Tuesday) from 17:00 to 18:30 (Japan Standard Time – JST). This time, the discussion will focus on measuring state capture.
A presentation will be given by Dr. Alexander Gerganov (Center for the Study of Democracy), followed by a combination of Q&A and open-floor discussion.
Dr. Gerganov is the Director of the Sociological Program at the Center for the Study of Democracy and an assistant professor at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. His research on corruption and state capture has led to the methodological conceptualization and development of various indices and instruments, including the Corruption Monitoring System (CMS), the State Capture Assessment Diagnostics (SCAD), Monitoring Anti-Corruption Policy Implementation (MACPI), and others.
