Abstract

Corruption is one of the most disturbing issues of contemporary social development. Administrative corruption questions the capability of a state to deal efficiently with the challenges it is facing. Political corruption makes the democratic process vulnerable to manipulation and abuse. Business corruption threatens competitiveness and undermines efficiency of the national economy.
