Dr. Bassey research is dedicated to unravelling the complexities of public sector accountability, honing in on the dynamics of tax governance. His work explores how stakeholders actively participate in shaping policy decisions, providing a nuanced understanding of the multifaceted landscape of accountability within the public sector.
Dr. Edidiong Bassey’s PhD Thesis focused on how to reform tax administrations in a way that serves citizens in developing nations. Going forward, I continue to be interested in the intricate domain of taxation, particularly focusing on the mechanisms of domestic revenue mobilization, with a specialized emphasis on developing countries. I am also interested in the complexities of tax implications within the context of public sector accountability. Investigating the interplay between tax policies and governance structures, Dr. Bassey is interested in understanding how stakeholders actively shape policy decisions and influence the dynamics of accountability within the public sector. Through a nuanced lens, he examines the challenges and opportunities inherent in achieving effective revenue mobilization in diverse socio-economic contexts, contributing to both academic discourse and practical strategies for enhancing fiscal responsibility in developing nations.
