  • Political corruption [Elektronski vir]
    Šumah, Štefan ; Šumah, Anže ; Borošak, Matic
    Corruption has been identified by the World Bank as the number one obstacle to the development of countries. Politicians also contribute a lot to this phenomenon (corruption). Older research or ... documents (until 2005) did not actually distinguish between political and administrative corruption. There have been attempts to define political corruption, but researchers have defined it too broadly and in defining it have used forms of corruption that are more or less broadly present in one way or another. Even later research did not differ much from these and one rarely comes across articles that would treat political corruption as a stand-alone corruption. Yet, they treat it as corruption at the highest state levels. Political corruption operates on two or threelevels (depending on each country's local self-government). The first, highest level is at the state level, where the bearers of political corruption are the government and politically appopinted or elected state officials. The second and third level are a step or two lower (depending on the system of government), at the level of regions, provinces or municipalities. These bearers of political corruption are also politically appointed or elected officials and holders of power at a lower level, such as. mayors, municipal or provincial councillors. Thus, the purpose of this article is to try to define exactly what political corruption is, what it involves, where it happens and how it passes from the field of legal (unpunishable but not legitimate) political corruption to the illegal (criminal) field of political corruption.
