This event is part of a series of roundtables that aims at disentangling the relational dynamics related to anticorruption mobilizations across the world fostered by digital technologies. Roundtables will take place once per month and will be composed of three panelists presenting specific case studies and one international scholar as discussant. The roundtables are organized with the support of the Department for Social and Political Science, University of Bologna, and inspired by the research work conducted in the framework of the BIT-ACT ERC Funded Project (StG 2018802362).
