Rebalancing the Agenda
This article examines how global research funding systems and institutional hierarchies continue to marginalize scholars based in the Global South (GS) within corruption studies. While the GS is frequently the site of empirical research, agenda-setting power, authorship, and legitimacy remain concentrated in the Global North. Drawing on existing work on research inequalities and the politics of knowledge production, alongside collective autoethno…
Corruption in ‘Developing’ Contexts? Challenging Universalist Frameworks and Emphasizing Local Agency
Corruption is a global governance challenge, yet dominant approaches to its study and prevention remain shaped by frameworks that often privilege standardized definitions and reform models developed in the Global North. This two-part special issue examines what becomes visible when corruption and anti-corruption are approached through diverse political, historical, and institutional contexts, with particular attention to knowledge and experiences…
Throwing Spaghetti, Seeing What Sticks
This study examines the strategic exploitation of social media platforms, particularly Facebook, for information operations that extend beyond traditional disinformation. These operations employ a range of misleading content and tactics to maximize reach and influence, compromising the integrity of digital spaces. Using a mixed-methods approach grounded in the theoretical framework of strategic information operations, the study analyzes the inter…
The perception and use of generative AI for science-related information search
Publicly accessible large language models like ChatGPT are emerging as novel information intermediaries, enabling easy access to a wide range of science-related information. This study presents survey data from seven countries ( N = 4320) obtained in July and August 2023, focusing on the perception and use of GenAI for science-related information search. Despite the novelty of ChatGPT, a sizable proportion of respondents already reported using it…
Visual Memory in Grassroots Mobilizations
This chapter investigates the role of images in social movements in activating and nourishing collective memory as a process that has an instant recall value of the past in the present. Using the example of the India Against Corruption movement of 2011–2012, we unpack the role played by visuals as mnemonic devices to trigger and sustain protests and mass mobilizations. Our primary data shows how activists deployed images of Gandhi as well as Gand…
Improving Transparency in Service Delivery to Fight Corruption? Mapping Multi-Stakeholder Voices on Digitization in the Indian Public Healthcare Sector
In recent years, digital technologies have been recognized as essential for combating corruption in healthcare by academics and practitioners alike. Our study focuses on India, where healthcare policies increasingly emphasize digital public health services. We analyze multi-stakeholder perspectives emerging in the country post the 2020 launch of a national digital health plan. The study uses interviews, participant observation, and official video…
Constructing ‘Responsive’ Publics
Starting from the global innovation turn in science policies, especially discourses on Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) through democratic involvement of the public in the scientific enterprise, this article studies science policies in India and their enactment through public engagement with innovation at non-formal sites of learning. Using a single case study research design focusing on the Birla Industrial and Technological Museum, Kol…
Addressing corruption through visual tools in India
In the past decades, several grassroots movement organizations across the world have tackled the issue of corruption with the aim of mobilizing knowledge on this widespread problem. In our paper, we look at three bottom-up civil society organisations and collective actors fighting for greater transparency and curbing of corruption in Indian society, highlighting how they employ visuals to debate on these issues and to communicate their mission to…
Documenting the gender gap in Indian Wikipedia communities
This article presents a pilot study to address the issue of gender gap in participation on Wikipedia in India. We carried out semi-structured interviews with 16 Wikipedians across various linguistic communities using the snowball sampling technique. The responses corroborated with the existing literature on gender gap in Wikipedia with respect to issues of Internet access, lack of discretionary time, psychological barriers and institutional haras…
Digital Payments on the Agenda
Debates about the increase in digital payments during COVID-19 have primarily focused on behavioural change among consumers. Using India as a case study, this article documents how supply-side actors (political, economic, financial and technological) used the pandemic to generate a new public consensus about digital payments. The article argues that these actors framed the agenda to draw public attention on cash and digital payments during the CO…
