Academia against Corruption in the Americas (ACA)
What do we know about corruption in the Americas? What lessons can we learn from the anti-corruption efforts in various countries? How can we teach the next generation of public servants, businesspeople, and social entrepreneurs to break the cycle of corruption?
The second Academia against Corruption in the Americas (ACA) Conference will be held in Monterrey, Mexico on June 7-8, 2019. As the title suggests, this is a forum for the academic anti-corruption community to share research results and teaching experiences.
