East Asia Institute (EAI) organized and hosted the Asia Democracy Research Network (ADRN) “Better Governance through Tackling Corruption and Improving Transparency” Forum in Seoul, South Korea on December 18, 2017. At the conference, Professor Adam Graycar from Australia presented his research on the special features of Asian corruption problems. Representatives from South Korean governments, civil society, and academia gathered to discuss how to better control the corruption issues by suggesting specific policy recommendations.
ADRN was launched in 2013 under the EAI’s leadership in order to analyze challenges against democracy in Asia and collaborate on pragmatic research projects that can contribute to democracy promotion and consolidation in the region. Democracy-related research think tanks from thirteen Asian countries, including Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Thailand are participating in this network. EAI is currently serving as a secretariat of the ADRN.
