The ANTICORRP Project WP10 on \u201cMonitoring anti-corruption legislation and\u00a0enforcement in Europe\u201d has the overall aim to study state compliance and\u00a0implementation of international and European anti-corruption norms in the EU\u00a0member states. It is specifically interested in exploring whether international and\u00a0European norms have an independent influence in prompting EU member states to\u00a0adopt and implement effective anti-corruption laws, policies and practices\u00a0domestically. While their research design and methodology are different, the three\u00a0studies that are contained in this deliverable explore this broader issue by focusing on\u00a0three areas of law and policy: (a) political financing, (b) public procurement, and (c)\u00a0the confiscation and recovery of proceeds of corruption. These three studies are based\u00a0on primary empirical research and extensive data collection across all the EU-28.
\nThe empirical finding of these three studies provide a solid empirical basis for\u00a0identifying patterns of variation of state compliance and implementation, whether\u00a0cross-national, in each of the three issue and policy areas. They shall also enable us in\u00a0the subsequent, comparative phase of the WP10 research to explore the factors that\u00a0account for significant variation across sectors or states. In this regard, these studies\u00a0conducted in the frame of the second phase of WP10 contribute to filling an important\u00a0gap in existing academic and policy-relevant research: there is a dearth of studies that\u00a0systematically examine whether and the extent to which international anti-corruption\u00a0legislation influences state laws and policies, and whether governments comply with\u00a0the respective norms. We also lack comparative studies that investigate the factors\u00a0and conditions under which states comply and implement international norms and\u00a0rules designed to fight against corruption. WP10 seeks to contribute to the broader\u00a0and flourishing area of anti-corruption studies. It draws from, but also in turn\u00a0contributes to, international relations and comparative politics scholarship about the\u00a0effects of international law on domestic politics and policies more broadly.
\nAlongside academic scholarship, the WP10 research also seeks to inform\u00a0important policy questions and debates. A central issue that is debated among scholars\u00a0and non-scholars alike is whether the proliferation of international regulatory\u00a0activities actually has any positive influence on the extent and ways in which states\u00a0seek to mitigate corruption, and whether, as a result, resources and energies must be\u00a0channeled towards strengthening corruption control. Many either assume or explicitly\u00a0argue that international anti-corruption norms that promote the creation or\u00a0strengthening of national legal and regulatory frames make a positive contribution in\u00a0tackling state-level corruption \u2013 at least to some degree. However, not few are those\u00a0who question any direct positive impact, claiming that international regulatory norms\u00a0have little actual effects in the domestic regulatory efforts to curb corruption. Some\u00a0even argue that anti-corruption norms and regulations may actually create more\u00a0problems and incur costs, instead of having any positive benefits in effectively\u00a0reducing state corruption.<\/p>\n
