Research Projects
ANTICORRP seeks to advance the knowledge on how corruption can be curbed in Europe and elsewhere. The project’s main objective is to investigate and explain the factors that promote or hinder the development of effective anticorruption policies and impartial government institutions. Funded by the European Commission’s Seventh Framework Program, this five-year project is conducted by 21 research groups from 16 countries, and the participation of the Hertie School of Governance is coordinated by Alina Mungiu-Pippidi.
The COCOPS project, under the leadership of Hertie School Professor Gerhard Hammerschmid, seeks to comparatively and quantitatively assess the impact of New Public Management-style reforms in European countries, drawing on a team of European public administration scholars from 11 universities in 10 countries.

A project led by Hertie School Professor Anke Hassel.
The main idea underlying the Governance Report is that the conditions of public policymaking have changed—and continue to change—as a result of: a greater openness of national borders, a growing volume of cross-border economic activity, deepening policy interdependence among countries, more risks and more competition not only among firms but also states, increased public/private partnering, a strengthened role of civil society, and last but not least, major shifts in global power relations.
European Media Policies Revisited: Valuing and Reclaiming Free and Independent Media in Contemporary Democratic Systems From April 2010 ‐ March 2013, the EU has funded approximately 2.65 million Euros towards MEDIADEM, a research project surveying 14 European countries, seeking to understand and explain factors that promote or conversely hinder the development of policies supporting free and independent media. Hertie School professor Alina Mungiu-Pippidisits on the consortium to establish theoretical frameworks for the project’s independently directed case-studies and to provide concrete policy guidelines for state and non-state actors involved in media policy-making processes.
