In this book of contributed chapters, we delve into the pivotal issue of adapting corruption risk assessment systems to emergency scenarios. Among various sectors, public procurement systems are particularly vulnerable to corruption risks during emergencies, given their frontline role in many countries' crisis responses. Throughout the book, the discussion revolves around the CO.R.E. project – COrruption Risk Indicators in Emergencies. This project, funded under the EU Internal Security Fund Police (ISF-P) program in 2019, aimed to enhance early detection of corruption risks through big data techniques and to establish a stronger evidence base for policy reform in emergency scenarios.

Nel corso dell’ultimo decennio si sono moltiplicati gli studi che analizzano la corruzione e gli strumenti più efficaci per contrastarla. Solo di recente in questo panorama ha fatto la sua comparsa una prospettiva “di genere”, che si interroga sul diverso ruolo di uomini e donne in tale fenomeno. Vale la pena approfondire i diversi aspetti con un approccio interdisciplinare: alle analisi quantitative si affiancano quelle sociologiche, storiche, di taglio psicosociale e infine, naturalmente, giuridiche.

The challenge of fighting corruption is strategic at a global and European level, and the inadequacy of the repressive and penal response alone has now been evidenced: corruption must not only be fought, but understood, and preventive administrative measures must be taken. This volume is the result of a project that conducted comparative law studies and high-profile research activities in the field of administrative prevention of corruption, with specific focus on Albania, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia.
