WHAT WE DO
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. WE HELP POLICYMAKERS AND THE PUBLIC UNDERSTAND AUTHORITARIAN CORRUPTION – AND FIGHT BACK WITH RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATIONS THAT LEAD TO REAL-WORLD RESULTS.
SUPPORTING INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING INTO CORRUPTION AT HOME
From local officials selling access to foreign governments buying influence, corruption is a major threat to American democracy. We cover the issue with in-depth open source analysis, and with our specialized research skillsets, we provide journalistic partners with results they can report on, authorities with evidence they can act on, and the public with information they can trust.
INFORMING POLICYMAKERS ABOUT AUTHORITARIAN CORRUPTION ABROAD
Authoritarian powers wield corruption across borders to weaken their neighbors, strengthen their armies, and enrich themselves. Building on our regional expertise in the Former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, our technical expertise in investigative methodologies, and our access to networks of civil society research partners, DKP conducts targeted investigations and provides analysis to inform stakeholders across the US policy community about this global challenge – and help them confront it.
