Encouraging the whispering voice of the whistleblower
Symbols and reputation in a corruption network
Corruption on the waterfront. Polymorphic bribery in the port of Genoa
Alloyed Networks” Against Corruption
The paper examines how information and communication technologies (ICTs) and artificial intelligence (AI) influence the creation of “alloyed networks”—social systems that combine face-to-face and digital interactions—in civic monitoring initiatives. It explores how these hybrid interactions foster (or hinder) civic engagement, particularly in anti-corruption efforts. The central research questions include the following: (i) How do ICTs and AI aff…
Capturing Calabria? 'ndrangheta, corruption, and maladministration in local public institutions in Southern Italy
The ‘ndrangheta is the collective name of mafia-type groups from Calabria, Italy. Some ‘ndrangheta clans’ ability to influence local public institutions has been based on personal connections, systemic corruption, electoral influence, hidden exchanges, blackmailing power, and ‘elitarian handshakes’. Mafias have long-term interests in ‘capturing’ state’s institutions to gain profits, impunity, and generally a dominant position in the resulting bal…
When corruption creates its Mafia. The “middle-world” case in Rome
The judicial operation “mondo di mezzo” (middle-world) revealed in 2014 the existence of a criminal network in Rome, dubbed Mafia capitale. Its main function was the governance of a systemic corruption scheme that permeated many sectors of the public administration and the political process of the Italian capital city. Notwithstanding a convulsed judicial history, the network analytically manifests traits of a mafia-type group. Through a qualitat…
The Reputation of the Invisibles
This paper explores how mafia-type and semi-secret organizations construct and preserve their reputation through a calibrated equilibrium between visibility and invisibility. We unpack the case study of the Society of Santa, in Calabria, which was a semi-secret entity, presented as a para-masonic deviant lodge, born within the local mafia clans ('ndrangheta). Through a narrative approach to investigating files, surveillance tapes, and trial docum…
The Secret Nexus. A Case Study of Deviant Masons, Mafia and Corruption in Italy
This paper wishes to explore some characteristics of the relevant interconnections between mafias/mafiosi and masonic lodges/masons in the Italian context. The paper sets out to study these interconnections from a social science perspective rooted in sociological and neo-institutional studies of organised crime and mafias, but also in criminological approaches to social constructionism, in the form of symbols and narratives. We will present a cas…
Protection and Obedience. Deviant Masonry, Corruption, and Mafia in Italy
The historical connection between Italian masonry and opaque interests of \nwhite-collar and institutional actors populates common representations of \npower in Italy. The P2 case contributed to shape an Italian collective representation of the role of the masonry as a locus where almost everything can \nbe informally or illegally obtained by affiliates through the right connections, \nbribery, and blackmailing. Using a variety of resources, incl…
The extra‐legal governance of corruption
This article traces the organization of corruption in public procurement, by theoretically and empirically assessing the contribution of extra‐legal governance organizations (EGO) to supporting it. Theoretically, we explore the governance role played by organized criminal groups in corruption networks, facilitating corrupt transactions by lowering search costs, bargaining costs, and enforcement cots. Empirically, the analysis exploits a rare empi…
A luta contra a corrupção
Systemic corruption and disorganized anticorruption in Italy
TThis paper provides, trough different indicators, empirical evidence on the presumably high relevance of corruption in Italian politics and administration, providing an explanation of how this “obscure” side of Italian politics – a pervasive market for corrupt exchanges – has found its way to regulate its hidden activities within an informal institutional framework, i.e. systemic corruption. A general theoretical framework for the analysis of li…
Corrupt Exchanges
Political corruption has traditionally been presented as a phenomenon characteristic of developing countries, authoritarian regimes, or societies in which the value system favored tacit patrimony and clientelism. Recently, however, the thesis of an inverse correlation between corruption and economic and political development (and therefore democratic maturity) has been frequently and convincingly challenged. Countries with a long democratic tradi…
The Hidden Order of Corruption
When corruption is exposed, unknown aspects are revealed which allow us to better understand its structures and informal norms. This book investigates the hidden order of corruption, looking at the invisible codes and mechanisms that govern and stabilize the links between corrupters and corruptees. Concentrating mainly on democratic regimes, this book uses a wide range of documentation, including media and judicial sources from Italy and other co…

The Hidden Order of Corruption investigates the hidden order of corruption, looking at the invisible codes and mechanisms that govern and stabilize the links between corrupters and corruptees. When corruption is exposed, unknown aspects are revealed which allow us to better understand its structures and informal norms. This book is theoretically informed and based on empirically sound research on a central challenge for democratic quality and as …
Corruption and anti-corruption
The apparent triumph of the 'revolution of the judges' ( which in the early 1990s led to talk of a 'Second Republic' in Italy) proved to be of short duration. Between the mid-1990s and the early 2000s the question of political corruption was intentionally demoted as a political priority by means of a 'bi-partisan' agreement. The 'Clean Hands' investigations do not seem to have led to the moral regeneration of Italian politics: available indicator…
