RESPOND partner, the Institute for Global Analytics (IGA), has been focusing on a historical-legal analysis of the process of the creation and evolution of regulatory frameworks related to domestic and cross-border practices of political corruption in nine countries: Sweden, the Netherlands, UK, Hungary, Italy, France, Ukraine, Serbia, and Bulgaria. 

This part of the project includes a legal review, which investigates the presence of relevant laws, national strategies and codes of conduct on political finance, lobbying, revolving doors, and on media ownership and when these laws came into being. 

The IGA team is now categorizing the country data into a cross-country compendium that clearly classifies the scope of legislation and identifies the oversight and enforcement bodies charged with monitoring, verification and evaluation, and what sanctions are envisaged for noncompliance.
