It is very important in our mind that the seminar in general, and this session in particular, is conceived in a truly multidisciplinary manner, combining legal, economics and socio-political analysis in order to facilitate a dialogue on common objects and identify possible directions for future common research projects, while acknowledging the pivotal role of economics and quantitative methods.

The Governance and Public Law Center at Sciences Po and the Continental Law Foundation are organizing their third seminar on economic analysis of public law and policies on the following theme: « CORRUPTION AND CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS».
