[spectre] ORGANISED CRIME: A Global Business, November 24-26, Berlin

[Tatiana Bazzichelli]

Dear Spectre list,

I would like to invite you to our next conference "ORGANISED CRIME: A
Global Business", at Kunstquartier Bethanien (Berlin and streaming),
November 24-26, 2023. As usual you can participate using our online chat
to ask questions to our speakers.
https://www.disruptionlab.org/organised-crime

Investigating global systems of organised crime and corruption, and the
connections between crime, politics and business.

ORGANISED CRIME: A Global Business discusses the complexities of
organised crime and corruption at a global scale. From the local to the
global, the conference shows how corruption and organised crime are
closely intertwined.

Corruption is not an issue circumscribed to a specific form of
government, but it involves a global network of countries as well as
different structures of economies and parliamentary systems. Global
corruption is a distinct and convoluted phenomenon that intervenes and
prominently influences both politics and the private sector, making it
more difficult for the system to legislate effectively and to
efficiently combat it.

To effectively inform the public and enhance literacy, we need the
perspectives of knowledgeable journalists, whistleblowers, researchers,
artists and activists from regions where corruption is considered
particularly visible and detrimental to democratic development. These
perspectives are also needed to counter stereotypes and to promote a
critical, balanced understanding on the mechanisms of globalised
politics, trade and crime.

A programme of panels, workshops, and performance curated by Tatiana
Bazzichelli and Mauro Mondello.
