A new episode of KickBack: The Global Anticorruption Podcast is now available. (This one actually came out a couple weeks ago, so it’s not so new–apologies for the tardiness in posting this announcement.) In this episode, hosts Nils Kobis and Christopher Starke, interview Magnus Öhman, senior political finance adviser at the International Foundation for Electoral Systems, about challenges associated with the problem of illicit political finance, as well as broader issues concerning declining political trust and democratic backsliding. The interview also touches on the potential of artificial intelligence to improve political transparency.
