Professor Labovic has opened new dimensions of knowledge in anti-corruption by launching a new typology of organized crime that includes qualitatively new scientific criteria. Within the framework of this typology two new theoretical types of organized crime are explored, taking old practices to the next level. Institutional and institutionalized organized crime are seen as consequences and tools of a general concept of systemically corrupted policy. As these scientific concepts are brand new theoretical concepts, his perception of corruption marks a completely different approach compared to the most referred to authors in the world.

Ce projet vise à examiner les processus politiques et économiques qui portent atteinte au fonctionnement idéal de la démocratie contemporaine, la privant durablement de la confiance des citoyens.

In African culture, music is one of greatest tools to pass on information. On this note, TM Music realized that merging musical and organizational skills can create a lasting impact on Tanzanian society for this generation and future ones too. To begin, members of TM Music brought together youths (some musically talented and others without prior musical training) through a keen desire to share their passion while addressing some of the pressing issues affecting their society. They composed music tackling real issues such as the fight against corruption and pursuit of peace in their country. These themes were especially pertinent during Tanzania’s 2015 General Election.
