How does corruption affect the countries economics?
Administrative corruption in simple term is an abuse of power for
private gain. But corruption always does not mean the same thing or have the
same impact or motivation. In general, the corruption is designated as the
phenomenon by which a public officer is driven to act differently from the
normative standards of the system to favor special interests in exchange for
reward. Therefore corrupt is the behavior deviated from the one who occupies a
role in the state structure. Corruption is a type of influence, unlawful,
illegal, and illegitimate.
The Main Types of Corruption:
There are two different categories of administrative corruption.
The first type of corruption:
Occurs when corrupt acts
committed in accordance with the rules, which is when an officer is receiving a
benefit from an individual by doing something he should do as provided by law. The
corruption in accordance with the law can occur at all levels of government
because the officer is not willing to do his jobs unless he gets a bribe or
profit.
The second type of corruption:
is when the operations are carried out against the rules that
are to obtain services which the staff member is prohibited from providing.
The causes of corruption:
It is
possible to appoint three main causes that enable the emergence of corruption
and may occur in different degrees in any state.
The first is formal causes:
It is the
lack of clear demarcation and distinguishing between public and private, the
existence of an inadequate legal system and national realty, the practical
ineffectiveness of public institutions.
The second is cultural causes:
Cultural causes refer to the political culture of a country, it is the
set of attitudes, norms and beliefs shared by citizens and have a political
phenomenon as an object, cultural conditions can delineate the extent of
corrupt practices, the probability to occur and the degree of social tolerance
that can be drawn. There are many basic cultural conditions that bring to
corrupt.
The phenomenon:
The existence of a broad social tolerance for the
enjoyment of private privileges, allows a prevailing of private profit of civic
morality. The existences of widespread culture of illegality or reduced social groups,
who know that the law is not in their favor, encourage corruption and social
tolerance towards it.
The third is material causes:
Material causes are related to specific situations that give rise to
corrupt practices. The situations of this case are the various gaps between the
legal and social order, and the gaps between the real needs of political
control and the formal conditions of exercise of power and etc.
The impact of Corruption:
Corruption
affects all fields and domains in the country.
The economic impact:
Corruption increases the cost of goods and services, increases the debt of the
country that may involve the future recurrent costs and leads to the relaxation
of standards, which means as to purchase goods that do not meet established
standards or inappropriate or unnecessary technology and may be less useful
from the standpoint of development. When a country increases its debt to carry
out projects that are not economically viable, the additional debt includes not
only extra cost due to corruption, but the investment will be unproductive.
The political impact:
Corruption
can be measured through various items. Corruption reproduces social inequality
and protects the networks of complicity between the political and economical
actors, and consolidates the political clientele and keeps working to control
illegal instrument. Corruption perpetuates the inefficiency of the bureaucracy
and generates parasitic forms of intermediation in the administrative
apparatus. All these leads to loss of credibility in the state and the erosion
of the legitimacy needed for proper deal.
The social impact:
Corruption
accentuates social differences by reducing the roles of the state in mediating
the demands of different groups and increases poverty among the population. The major classes of the population are
marginalized and subjected to a process of political exclusion, therefore they
would be taken away from the formal system and forced informally to access
their livelihoods.
The consequences of widespread corruption:
Corruption destroys professionalism and confidence. In widespread
corruption system, the bribe interests are replacing the professional criteria
and increasing the segregation and discourage honest.
Basic development!
