Policy Brief 7: Reducing the social acceptability of wildlife trafficking through behaviour change interventions
No full textBehaviour change interventions aimed at reducing the social acceptability of wildlife trafficking are an important part of efforts to prevent wildlife crime. This policy brief summarises lessons learned about how to develop and frame effective messages in the context of these interventions, based on field work conducted in Uganda.
A key first step is to narrowly identify the right target audience. While a general public awareness campaign may have its merits, it may be more effective to focus on those identified as most vulnerable to participating in wildlife trafficking, namely young men, those that live around wildlife trafficking hotspots and those involved in trade.
Second, it appears most promising to formulate messages that challenge narrow utilitarian perceptions of wildlife by highlighting the hidden costs of trafficking and its negative impact on the economy and the environment. Messages that focus on legal risks should showcase successes in detection and sanctions, especially in a context in which impunity is perceived to be high. Other messages that seek to challenge the overvalued benefits of engaging in wildlife trafficking in relation to wealth and social status should be carefully nuanced to avoid rejection.
Third, how we frame such messages is equally important. The research suggests that appealing to social identity and highlighting personal consequences are the most promising frames to adopt.
Overall, practitioners are advised to develop and test messages and approaches that are personal and precise.

Die Stadtbefestigungen am St. Alban-Graben und am Harzgraben
Get PDFAufgrund der neuen Befunde am Harzgraben, im Bereich des St. Alban-Schwibbogens und am St. Alban-Graben sowie der Neubeurteilung zeitgenössischer Texte halten wir es für ziemlich erwiesen, dass die Stadt Bischof Burkhards mit Ausnahme der noch nicht meliorierten Birsigniederung unterhalb des Leonhardsberges und am heutigen Barfüsserplatz bereits von einer auf der Trasse der späteren Inneren Stadtbefestigung verlaufenden älteren Befestigung umschlossen war

The Role of Victims at the International Criminal Court: The Development of Victims’ Rights in International Criminal Law from a Doctrinal and Institutional Perspective
Get PDFThe International Criminal Court (ICC) provides a procedural framework to victims, which grants them participation rights and assigns them a position as legal subjects. The status of victims at the ICC is not automatically inherent to international criminal law, but rather the preliminary result of a legal development and a process of political negotiation. In this paper, the development of victimhood is traced along the stages of international criminal law and its institutions leading to the implementation of the ICC. In addition, the paper detaches the concept of victimhood from a purely jurisprudential framework and transfers it to the concept of transitional justice. In doing so, it demonstrates that the victim-specific norms in the Rome Statute have the potential for a restorative function.The International Criminal Court (ICC) provides a procedural framework to victims, which grants them participation rights and assigns them a position as legal subjects.

Working Paper 37: The Green Corruption paradox: Natural resource management and environmental corruption in Indonesia
Get PDFThis Working Paper details the findings of a survey of Indonesians’ perceptions of corruption, the economy and the environment in July 2021.
The survey was a joint initiative of the Green Corruption team at the Basel Institute on Governance and leading Indonesian pollster Lembaga Survei Indonesia (LSI). It consisted of a national public opinion survey covering 2,580 respondents and in-depth interviews with 30 private-sector representatives working in various natural resource sectors.
The survey reveals what we call the Green Corruption paradox: Conflicting, and arguably mutually exclusive, views on all three topics can co-exist. Despite seeing the presence of and being deeply concerned about corruption and environmental degradation, people tend to focus on livelihoods when times are hard.
People also, according to the survey data, favour economic structures that appear to channel the benefits of natural resource utilisation more directly to citizens. In Indonesia, this means rejecting private companies – particularly foreign-owned – in favour of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and people’s cooperatives.
The report ends with five key recommendations that can inform Indonesian policy and the interventions of donors and civil society organisations concerned with conservation, anti-corruption and sustainable development.

Ausgrabungen im Stadthaus: Stadthausgasse 13, 1993/1
Get PDFDie auf der Ausgrabung im Basler Stadthaus - dem Sitz der Bürgergemeinde Basel - erhaltenen Kulturschichtenreste ermöglichten die Rekonstruktion der ältesten Siedlungsgeschichte in diesem Altstadtbereich (10.-13. Jh .; evtl. noch römische Spuren). Es fanden sich Hinweise auf Holzbauten mit gewerblich genutzten Höfen
Geschichten vom Rande der Stadt: Die Ausgrabungen am St. Alban-Graben 2018 bis 2021
Get PDFBereits im Mittelalter hat der Bau der Inneren Stadtmauer und insbesondere der Aushub des Stadtgrabens eine mächtige Schneise durch die römerzeitlichen Befunde geschlagen. Trotzdem liessen sich beim Bau des Kunstmuseum-Parkings letzte Reste der römischen Siedlung fassen, u. a. zeigen spätrömische Münzen ein der spätrömischen Festung vorgelagertes Suburbium an.
An verschiedenen Stellen wurden Teilstücke der Inneren Stadtmauer und ihrer Kontermauer freigelegt. In einem an die Stadtmauer angebauten spätmittelalterlichen Latrinenturm wurde das fast vollständige Skelett eines Affen entdeckt. Die Untersuchungen des Skeletts zeigen eine wenig artgerechte Haltung des als Haustier dienenden Wildtieres.

Working Paper 36: Revealing the networks behind corruption and money laundering schemes: An analysis of the Toledo–Odebrecht case using social network analysis and network ethnography
Get PDFThis working paper is based on an empirical investigation of corruption and illicit exchange related to the so-called “Lava Jato” or “Odebrecht” scandal. Focusing on former Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo and his laundering of bribes obtained from the construction giant Odebrecht, the analysis aims to test the usefulness of applying a network lens to better understand the mechanisms underlying grand corruption cases. It also aims to further illuminate the nexus between corruption and money laundering and the role of hidden and offshore financial infrastructures in facilitating the illicit schemes.
The research used a combination of social network analysis and network ethnography techniques to explore the following questions:
How do money laundering activities and offshore financial infrastructures sustain corruption?
Who are the key actors involved, how do they interact and what is their division of labour?
How do actors and clusters govern the social-financial web of relations?
Answering these questions with empirical evidence related to a specific case makes it possible to better understand how the connection between corruption and money laundering using offshore financial infrastructure works. It also supports the emerging understanding of corruption as a collective, transnational and financially advanced phenomenon.
