The purpose of this research project is to identify and explain the emerged pattern of corporate crime and political corruption in Brazil. For that, we are using a methodological approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze sources such as interviews and official records related to four large corruption and illegal electoral financing cases in Brazil. Using a multi-level framework of institutional analysis, we are mapping key changes in the setting of the Brazilian justice system and relating them to organizational forms of misconduct by companies and political parties, as well as pinpointing the mindsets of both main groups: the perpetrators and law enforcers. Our general question targets the analysis of corruption practices in order to elucidate (1) how does the system of economic and political corruption operate? (2) how successful have the institutional and organizational rules been in countering corruption and organizational crime? (3) which role is the anti-corruption regime playing related to the changes of corruption patterns on the level of political and economic organizations, as well as of the collective mindsets? Since the project started, we have been able to partially accomplish the general objective of identifying and explaining the emerged pattern of corporate crime and political corruption in Brazil. To continue the promising research agenda, which was impaired due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the ongoing strategies of the team recommend an extension of this endeavor supported by the DFG for another two years.

该研究项目的目的是确定和解释巴西公司犯罪和政治腐败的新模式。为此，我们使用定性和定量相结合的方法来分析巴西四起大型腐败和非法选举融资案件的采访和官方记录等来源。使用多层次的体制分析框架，我们正在绘制巴西司法系统设置的关键变化，并将其与公司和政党的不当行为的组织形式联系起来，以及查明两个主要群体的心态：肇事者和执法者。我们的一般性问题旨在分析腐败行为，以阐明（1）经济和政治腐败体系是如何运作的？(2)体制和组织规则在打击腐败和有组织犯罪方面取得了多大的成功？(3)反腐败制度在政治和经济组织一级腐败模式的变化以及集体心态的变化方面发挥了何种作用？自项目开始以来，我们已经能够部分实现确定和解释巴西公司犯罪和政治腐败的新模式的总体目标。为了继续进行因新冠肺炎大流行而受损的有前途的研究议程，该团队的持续战略建议将DFG支持的这项奋进再延长两年。
