This proposal reflects the AHRC's Research Networking Scheme's Highlight Notice for 'cross-disciplinary research networks exploring emerging areas of cross-cultural enquiry'. More specifically, this proposal is located within the RCUK's Global Uncertainties Programme (now the Partnership for Conflict, Crime and Security Research) and particularly addresses the 'transnational organised crime' theme of the Highlight Notice. We propose an innovative and original collaborative research network that will bring together academics, practitioners and policymakers with expertise in the areas of organised crime and corruption, and the interdependencies between these, in the context of criminal and non-criminal enterprise in domestic and international commerce in OECD countries. The Network will integrate the law and criminology research expertise of the coordinators with that of other arts and humanities disciplines (e.g. philosophy, film studies, political science/studies, economics and business) and the sciences (e.g. computational science, the information and communications technology field) and will engage with academic and non-academic participants from several jurisdictions to ensure the cross-fertilisation of knowledge and cross-cultural, comparative insights. The substantive focus of the proposal is on (1) the social and criminal organisation of corrupt relations, practices and processes within criminal and non-criminal commercial enterprises that operate both domestically and transnationally across OECD countries, and on (2) law, theory and practice on how we can understand, predict/detect and act against/intervene with such phenomena. The proposal brings together two often discrete research areas, those of 'organised crime' and 'corruption' and is organised around three complementary streams: - Stream I: Identifying and understanding corrupt activities within/by non-criminal commercial enterprise (i.e. corruption within/by legitimate businesses per se); - Stream II: identifying and understanding corrupt activities within/by criminal commercial enterprise (i.e. corruption within/by formally legitimate businesses that are controlled by organised crime groups, and also corruption by/within entirely criminal entities, like drug cartels); and,- Stream III: Identifying and understanding corrupt activities at the intersections of criminal and non-criminal commercial enterprises. It is anticipated that the research network will have notable scientific and social impact, advancing theoretical, conceptual and methodological insights into corruption in (non-)criminal commercial enterprise and having practical use for state (e.g. law enforcement agencies) and non-state (e.g. business compliance) responses. For instance, the network will result in evidence-led and practice-relevant research, informed by the needs and experiences of policymakers and practitioners, in the areas of organised crime and corruption - these are key challenges in establishing security and protecting business interests in the UK but also in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice as envisaged by the European Union.It moves beyond the traditional academic focus on discrete causes and responses, and makes new connections between economics insights, criminology, philosophy and law. It will also facilitate ideas for the development of ICT tools which may minimise corruption, informed by criminological research, cultural studies and economics.

这一建议反映了AHRC的研究网络计划的亮点通知，即“探索新兴的跨文化调查领域的跨学科研究网络”。更具体地说，这项建议位于RCUK的全球不确定性方案(现为冲突、犯罪和安全研究伙伴关系)范围内，并特别针对重点通知的“跨国有组织犯罪”主题。我们建议建立一个创新和原创的合作研究网络，在经合组织国家国内和国际商业的犯罪和非犯罪企业的背景下，将具有有组织犯罪和腐败领域的专门知识以及这些领域之间相互依存关系的学者、从业人员和政策制定者聚集在一起。该网络将把协调员的法律和犯罪学研究专长与其他艺术和人文学科(例如哲学、电影研究、政治学/研究、经济学和商科)和科学(例如计算科学、信息和通信技术领域)的专门知识结合起来，并将与来自几个司法管辖区的学术和非学术参与者接触，以确保知识的交叉交流和跨文化的比较见解。该提案的实质重点是(1)在经合组织国家国内和跨国经营的刑事和非刑事商业企业内腐败关系、做法和过程的社会和犯罪组织，以及(2)关于我们如何理解、预测/发现此类现象以及采取行动/干预此类现象的法律、理论和实践。该建议将“有组织犯罪”和“腐败”这两个往往是离散的研究领域结合在一起，并围绕三个相辅相成的流进行组织：-流I：识别和了解非刑事商业企业内/由非刑事商业企业进行的腐败活动(即合法企业内部/由合法企业本身进行的腐败)；-流II：识别和了解犯罪商业企业内/由犯罪商业企业内部/由有组织犯罪集团控制的正式合法企业内的腐败活动，以及完全由犯罪实体(如贩毒集团)控制的腐败/内部腐败)；和--流三：查明和了解犯罪和非犯罪商业企业交叉路口的腐败活动。预计研究网络将产生显著的科学和社会影响，促进对(非)刑事商业企业腐败的理论、概念和方法的深入了解，并对国家(例如执法机构)和非国家(例如商业合规)的应对措施具有实际作用。例如，该网络将产生循证和实践相关的研究，了解政策制定者和从业者在有组织犯罪和腐败领域的需求和经验--这些是在英国建立安全和保护商业利益的关键挑战，也是欧盟设想的自由、安全和司法领域的挑战。该网络超越了传统学术对离散原因和反应的关注，并在经济学见解、犯罪学、哲学和法律之间建立了新的联系。它还将促进利用犯罪学研究、文化研究和经济学知识开发可最大限度减少腐败的信息和通信技术工具的想法。
