Master’s Theses

Here we present some some examples of master’s theses by graduates of IACA’s Master in Anti-Corruption Studies (MACS) and International Master in Anti-Corruption Compliance and Collective Action (IMACC) programme for which independent research was conducted.

Publication of MACS and IMACC theses on the IACA website is an ongoing process, and we will add more works as we secure the authors’ permissions for online publication.
