Global Informality Project

The Global Informality Project is an interdisciplinary research project led by UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies. It provides the first multimedia online resource that explores informal practices and structures from a global perspective. Through its comparative and ethnographic investigations, the encyclopaedia traces the existence of multiple moralities, which account for the resilience of informal practices, and investigates their legitimacy and institutional arrangements as well as the cultural and historical contexts of informality. This online resource is truly international: it includes entries from 5 continents, over 75 countries and over 250 researchers.
