Om Monika Bauhr

Monika Bauhr is a Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Gothenburg and a Research Fellow at the Quality of Government Institute. Bauhr’s research investigates the causes and consequences of corruption, examining the links between democracy and corruption, the role of transparency and access to information, and the link between women’s representation and governance outcomes. She also explores the nature and dynamics of different forms of corruption and clientelism. In addition, her work analyzes how corruption shapes public attitudes toward foreign aid, international redistribution, climate change and the broader provision of public goods. Her research has been published in leading academic journals such as International Studies Quarterly, Global Environmental Politics, Governance, Comparative Political Studies, European Journal of Political Research, European Union Politics, Public Administration, Political Behavior, European Political Science Review, Electoral Studies, Democratization, Journal of Common Market Studies, and Journal of European Public Policy. She is also a co-editor of the recently published Oxford Handbook of the Quality of Government.

She has previously been a visiting scholar at Harvard University, Stanford University, and the University of Florida in the United States, as well as at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. Between 2014 and 2017, she served as the Scientific Coordinator and Principal Investigator of the ANTICORRP (Anticorruption Policies Revisited: Global Trends and European Responses to the Challenge of Corruption), a large-scale, multidisciplinary research program involving 20 institutions across 15 European countries, funded by the European Commission. She has received the Journal of Common Market Studies Best Article Prize and has been recognized as a highly ranked scholar in corruption studies across all disciplines over the past five years.

Her teaching includes undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels, covering courses in research design and methodology, environmental politics, comparative politics, and anti-corruption. She also supervises and examines theses at all levels. Previously, she served as a member of the program board for the interdisciplinary Environmental Social Science Program (Samhällsvetenskapliga miljövetarprogrammet, SMIL) and worked with the Minor Field Studies Committee (MFS), a SIDA-funded scholarship program supporting student thesis research in developing countries.

She regularly participates in a wide range of outreach activities and has contributed to shaping European and international policy debates on governance and corruption. Her engagements include talks and workshops organized by international institutions such as the European Commission, the UN, UNCAC, NATO, the World Bank, the OSCE and the OECD, as well as by government agencies in Sweden and abroad. For media appearances, blogs, and podcasts, please see her CV.

She is currently working on two research projects:

·  “Why Are Some Democracies Less Corrupt Than Others? Understanding the Link Between Women’s Representation and Corruption” (Principal Investigator), funded by the Swedish Research Council. This project investigates how and why women’s representation helps reduce corruption and explores the underlying mechanisms driving this relationship (2020-2022).

· “Measuring the Quality of Government at the Subnational Level and Comparing Results with Previous Studies”, funded by the European Commission. This project produces the European Quality of Government Index (EQI), which captures citizens’ perceptions and experiences of corruption, quality, and impartiality in public service delivery. The 2024 European Quality of Government Index (EQI) includes responses from 135,227 individuals across 210 NUTS 1 and NUTS 2 regions in all 27 EU member states.
