This report addresses three key questions: What are the risks associated with the funding of political parties and election campaigns? Why are existing regulatory models still insufficient and not fully implemented to tackle those risks? What are the links between money in politics and broader frameworks for integrity in the public sector? The resulting analysis has produced a Framework on Financing Democracy for shaping the global debate, providing policy options and a mapping of risks. The report also features detailed country case studies of Canada, Chile, Estonia, France, Korea, Mexico, United Kingdom, Brazil and India, providing in-depth analysis of their political finance mechanisms and challenges in different institutional settings. The findings of these nine case studies also confirm the relevance of the Framework and provide good practices that can be applied to other countries.
