Too often there has been a gap between academic analysis seeking to explain the how and why of corruption and the reality of activists trying to address it on the ground. We need to recognise not only that corruption is complex and multi-faceted, but also that to have any real impact requires sensitivity to the specific contexts in which it takes place, and especially what is politically possible. That means working closely with colleagues who are faced with actually implementing anti-corruption measures. This panel at the 2018 Australasian Aid Conference provided an in-depth look at some of the research funded through the British Academy/DFID Anti-Corruption Evidence Programme. Panellists: Paul Heywood, British Academy/DFID Anti-Corruption Evidence Programme/University of Nottingham (Chair) Lili Mark, Central European University Hamish Nixon, Overseas Development Institute Heather Marquette, DFID/University of Birmingham Kristian Futol, DFAT The 2018 Australasian Aid Conference was held at Crawford School of Public Policy, ANU, on 13-14 February, and was organised by the Development Policy Centre in partnership with The Asia Foundation.
