Focus & Scope
Open Access • Interdisciplinary
The Journal of Law and Corruption Review is an open-access academic journal dedicated to the critical and interdisciplinary study of Law and Corruption in their multiple dimensions.
Recognizing corruption as a complex global phenomenon that affects democracy, the economy, fundamental rights, and institutional legitimacy, the journal aims to foster theoretical and applied research on legal, institutional, and social mechanisms of prevention, accountability, and integrity.
The journal encourages submissions that address both the theoretical and doctrinal foundations of Law and applied studies that engage with issues of compliance, governance, public policy, and human rights. In addition to focusing on traditional dimensions of anti-corruption, the journal is open to research covering broader legal and interdisciplinary perspectives, including:
