This document summarizes research on the perception of corruption in Slovenia since 2000. It examines how changes in unemployment rates, purchasing power, and GDP affect perception of corruption, as measured by Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index. Using econometric analysis and data from 1999-2013, it studies the impact of these economic indicators on the index as the dependent variable. The research finds that perception of corruption in Slovenia fell after 2008 despite little real change in corruption, suggesting economic factors influenced sensitivity to corruption.

Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to highlight the concept of corruption and analyses our cumulative knowledge about corruption’s effects on the economic growth in Algeria during the period 2002–2015. This article emphasizes the major source of corruption and how the quality of institutions and government policies could mitigate the risk of corruption or increase it. The findings also show the great role of free media in most developing countries which created a new tendency to talk about the effects of corruption especially in recent years. Using a multiple regression model, we find that a 1% decrease in the corruption index CPI level increases the GDP growth rate by approximately 2,005%. The analysis also revealed that there is a negative relationship between the country rank and the economic growth. Finally, the results suggest that more economic freedom, social and political stability lead to less corruption.

Corruption is a widespread phenomenon that is generally considered harmful for important economic and political outcomes. Conversely, judicial accountability has positive connotations, suggesting honesty in upholding the rules of the game. We ask whether, as many seem to think, corruption worsens, and judicial accountability improves, inequality, and investigate this empirically using data from 145 countries 1960–2014. More specifically, we relate perceived corruption and de facto judicial accountability to gross-income inequality and consumption inequality, while controlling for other explanatory factors of potential importance. The study shows that corruption is negatively, and that judicial accountability is positively, related to both types of inequality. We suggest that this can be explained either by the non-elites being more skillful at using “petty corruption” or by the elites, deliberately (to retain a long-term power base) or unconsciously bringing about outcomes that benefit others more. The results are particularly pronounced in democracies; they withstand a region and decade jackknife analysis; and in the case of consumption inequality, the effect of corruption is increasing in the stability of political institutions, suggesting causal effects from corruption and judicial accountability. The findings suggest that what we conceptualize as “unfair procedures” – corruption and deviations from judicial accountability – may benefit the economically worst off and worsen the situation of the economic elite. As such, corruption may not be entirely bad, if one of its consequences is to reduce inequality – nor need judicial accountability be entirely good, if it serves to increase inequality. This does not imply that corruption is generally desirable, or that judicial accountability is generally undesirable, but knowledge of these effects can guide policymakers, in their attempts to battle corruption and strengthen judicial accountability, to handle increasing inequality through other methods.

Spoils system, also called patronage system, practice in which the political party winning an election rewards its campaign workers and other active supporters by appointment to government posts and by other favours. The spoils system involves political activity by public employees in support of their party and the employees’ removal from office if their party loses the election. A change in party control of government necessarily brings new officials to high positions carrying political responsibility, but the spoils system extends personnel turnover down to routine or subordinate governmental positions (Encyclopaedia Britannica).
According to Sancino (2011), the term spoils system refers to the practice of political appointments, consisting in assigning temporary positions in the administrative structure of public organizations. These temporary positions are usually related to the political mandate.
Corruption is pandemic in Nigeria. From high-profile cases to individual selfish mentality, the syndrome has been very pervasive and currently, corruption seems to be fighting back in the country. This paper highlights some definition of corruption and explores the psychological and ethical bases for corrupt mentality in Nigeria. The paper therefore posits that there is the need to institutionalize regulations with ethical reorientation of the young ones against greed and nepotism with appropriate civic value system. As charity begins at home, it is recommended that the home as an informal sector for civic learning should form a synergy with school civic education for promoting corrupt-free mentality.
Dilemma of Electorates when Corruption and Threat became a Cultureinventionjournals
Most of the politicians usually adopted various techniques and strategies to get their ends beyond electoral integrity. One or either form of corrupt practices appears widely in India’s northeast too which greatly demeans democracy. In the backdrop of various demands of different ethnic-based insurgencies, elections are also conducting in regular interval in this India’s Northeast. The state of democracy in India’s northeast is clear example of flawed democracy where elections are in servitude. This study is based on quantitative and empirical methods through SPSS interpretation. Sources of data were mainly from structured questionnaire collected on the basis of random sampling method from electorates of India’s northeast. In contemporary, many insurgent groups have been interfering in the elections since they entered peace dialogue with government of India. This paper attempts to analyse corrupt practices and modus operandi of electioneering practices. Majority of electorates were also on the whims of perpetrators.
Combating Corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa: Corruption Perceptions of Public...Premier Publishers
This article presents an analysis of data from a corruption perception survey administered to 90 Public Administration University of Asmara students in the month of June 2018. Respondents were asked for their opinions regarding the pervasiveness, causes, and potential remedies for corruption in Eritrea. The majority of the surveyed university students believe corruption in Eritrea is a serious problem that needs to be addressed by its leaders. The findings clearly indicate that the respondents believe the primary drivers of corruption in the Eritrean public sector include lack of adequate public sector pay, lack of meritocratic personnel policies, the self-serving behavior of public officials and lack of accountable/transparent political process. An overwhelming majority of the respondents recommended the urgent design and implementation of anti-corruption initiatives in Eritrea focusing on civil service reforms (improved public sector pay, heavy penalties and meritocratic personnel policies), accountability reforms (anti-corruption commission, anti-corruption legislation and the Auditor-General office) and political reforms (respect for rule of law, visible leadership commitment and legislative oversight).
Abstract: The menace of corruption in Nigeria is very pervasive with global implications. So pervasive is corruption in Nigeria that almost every aspect of National life is affected one way or the other (Matthew et al 2013). According to Woodward 2015, psychosocial approach looks at individuals in the context of the combined influence that psychological factors and the surrounding social environment have on their physical and mental wellness and their ability to function. This approach is used in broad range of helping professions in health and social care settings as well as by medical and social science researchers. It is however difficult to provide the exact date that corruption became a subject of national discourse in Nigeria (Matthew et al 2013). The age of corruption in Nigeria however, has affected the socio-psychology of the citizenry as there have been little or no effective measures put in place to curb the menace of corruption. It is also undisputedly true that corruption in the Nigerian society has eaten deep into the law enforcement agencies, political parties, political leaders, judicial system, government and private ministries and parastatals, law makers, etc., and above all, the psycho-social standing of the citizenry is greatly affected. Thus, curbing corruption in Nigeria may seem too daunting to dare but before proffering critical remedies/strategies/recommendations that will help tremendously in curbing corruption in Nigeria, a closer look at some two major factors that have been grossly infected by corruption will be considered. These two factors are carefully selected because the multiplier effects of corruption we see today in Nigeria find their roots in these two factors which are political corruption and judicial corruption. If corruption in these two institutions mentioned is curbed, then corruption in other aspects of life would have been greatly diminished and the slogan “change begins with me” would become more productive in the reduction of corruption as well as conscience upliftment and Nigeria would be in her way forward to a corrupt-free nation.

The increase in political instability as well as anarchy and anomie in the world is a prominent feature of politics
in the 21rst century.It has dire consequences for the population in the country torn apart by cilvil war or anarchy.
It consequences for the handling of the climate change question and the general problem of environmental
degradation. Global ecology coordination can only work if the participating governments lead strong states. The
more governments have to concentrate upon anarchy or civil wars, the less the time and resources would be
available for environmental policy-making and ecological protection. And environmental destruction tends to
worsen in countries that are not “well-ordered” (Rawls, 1971), as ecological laws are disobeyed and natural
resources dissipated until exhaustion or annihilation

1.. Islamic Rule and the Emancipation of the Poor and Pious
I estimate the impact of Islamic rule on secular education and labor market outcomes with a new and unique dataset of Turkish municipalities. Using a regression discontinuity design, I compare elections where an Islamic party barely won or lost municipal mayor seats. The results show that Islamic rule has had a large positive effect on education, predominantly for women. This impact is not only larger when the opposing candidate is from a secular left-wing, instead of a right-wing party; it is also larger in poorer and more pious areas. The participation result extends to the labor market, with fewer women classified as housewives, a larger share of employed women receiving wages, and a shift in female employment towards higher-paying sectors. Part of the increased participation, especially in education, may come through investment from religious foundations, by providing facilities more tailored toward religious conservatives. Altogether, my findings stand in contrast to the stylized view that more Islamic in‡uence is invariably associated with adverse development outcomes, especially for women. One interpretation is that limits on religious expression, such as the headscarf ban in public institutions, raise barriers to entry for the poor and pious. In such environments, Islamic movements may have an advantage over secular alternatives.
2. Islam and Long-Run Development
I show new evidence on the long-run impact of Islam on economic development. Using the proximity to Mecca as an instrument for the Muslim share of a country's population, while holding geographic factors fixed, I show that Islam has had a negative long-run impact on income per capita. This result is robust to a host of geographic, demographic and historical factors, and the impact magnitude is around three times that of basic cross-sectional estimates. I also show evidence of the impact of Islam on religious influence in legal institutions and women's rights, two outcomes seen as closely associated with the presence of Islam. A larger Islamic influence has led to a larger religious influence in legal institutions and lower female participation in public institutions. But it has also had a positive impact on several measures of female health outcomes relative to men. These results stand in contrast to the view that Islam has invariably adverse consequences for all forms of women's living standards, and instead emphasizes the link between lower incomes and lower female participation in public institutions.
3. The Rise of China and the Natural Resource Curse in Africa
We produce a new empirical strategy to estimate the causal impact of selling oil to China on economic and political development, using an instrumental variables design based on China's economic rise and consequent demand for oil in interaction with the pre-existence of oil in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The algerian economy governed by black corruption an empirical study from 200...sissanim
Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to highlight the concept of corruption and analyses our cumulative knowledge about corruption’s effects on the economic growth in Algeria during the period 2002–2015. This article emphasizes the major source of corruption and how the quality of institutions and government policies could mitigate the risk of corruption or increase it. The findings also show the great role of free media in most developing countries which created a new tendency to talk about the effects of corruption especially in recent years. Using a multiple regression model, we find that a 1% decrease in the corruption index CPI level increases the GDP growth rate by approximately 2,005%. The analysis also revealed that there is a negative relationship between the country rank and the economic growth. Finally, the results suggest that more economic freedom, social and political stability lead to less corruption.
Causes of Corruption in the Public Sector.pdfWajidKhanMP
Various country-level factors affect the functioning of governments and their services, influencing the existence and prevalence of public sector corruption. A non-exhaustive list of factors includes:
Country size
Studies show that geographically large countries with sparse populations can be more prone to corruption as it becomes increasingly challenging to monitor remote officials (Goel & Nelson, 2010).
Country age
Newly independent countries, or those that have recently transitioned from authoritarian regimes to democracies, are likely to experience more corruption due, for example, to underdeveloped government systems and rent-seeking opportunities created by the privatization of state-owned assets. (Goel and Nelson, 2010). In the context of crime, rent-seeking means using public funds to increase a share of existing wealth without creating new wealth for the state.

Corruption And Comparative Politics
In general, established democracies have lower levels of corruption than dictatorships and fledgling democracies (Montinola & Jackman, 2002; Warren, 2004). However, if the regime is democratic, this alone does not guarantee freedom from corruption (Kramer, 2018; Kube, 2017; Seldadyo & De Haan, 2011; Uslaner & Rothstein, 2016). Wajid khan gives an example, if a democracy lacks transparency in political or campaign finance, has outdated freedom of information laws, has inadequate protection against whistleblowers, or uses untrustworthy media, a democratic state may experience corruption.
Moreover, crime, or at least the perception thereof, tends to increase as countries develop democratic processes. Governments have often not developed effective anti-corruption and integrity mechanisms and are currently trapped in cycles of corruption and weak democratic institutions." Using a panel of 103 countries over five years, Sung (2004) found that corruption first decreased, then increased, and then decreased again in countries becoming more democratic.
That is a combination of growing economic opportunities in the form of achievable rents (Menes, 2006) and the inability of state agencies to establish adequate control and oversight mechanisms for these new opportunities (Schneider, 2007). Sandvig (2006) says that corruption increases in places undergoing "rapid change," such as rapidly developing economies, post-communist countries, or countries transitioning from authoritarian to democratic governments. I am explaining.
Wajid khan Mp says A particular incentive is increased uncertainty. Over time, corruption decreases as governments develop their institutions and capabilities. However, this is not inevitable, and research shows that corruption exists even in the most stable and prosperous democracies (Pring & Vushi, 2019; On critical reflection, see Stephenson, 2019). Therefore, even if democracy is viewed as the preferred anti-corruption system, it is not democracy.
However, specific political institutions, actors, and processes play the role of checks and balances, including the role played. This provides an anti-corruption effect—different political parties. Moreover, when discussing corruption and democracy, it is necessary to recognize that there are many different types of democratic systems around the world, ranging from liberal democracies to democratic socialism to direct and indirect democracies. I have.
Other democratic systems can have various forms and levels of corruption. Nonetheless, as discussed in more detail below, the risk of corruption is generally driven by informally defined executive powers, limited political pluralism, media control, human rights abuses, and militarization of regimes, high in authoritarian systems (or dictatorships) that tend to be characterized. These fe
Causes of public sector corruption
Various factors at the country level impact how governments and their services function, influencing the existence and prevalence of public sector corruption. A non-exhaustive list of factors includes:
Country size
Research shows that geographically large countries with a low population density can be more prone to corruption because of the increased difficulties in monitoring public officials in dispersed locations (Goel & Nelson, 2010).
Country age
Newly independent countries, or those that have recently transitioned from authoritarian regimes to democracies, may face more corruption owing to, for example, underdeveloped governance systems or rent-seeking opportunities created by the privatization of State assets (Goel & Nelson, 2010). Wajid khan explains In the context of corruption; rent-seeking means increasing one's share of existing wealth using public resources without creating new wealth for the State.

Bureaucratic Leadership and Corruption in the Cameroon Public Service The Cas...ijtsrd
Changes in the organizational environment of the Cameroon public sector are increasingly complex and competitive and as the nature, volume, and severity of crimes investigation increases from time to time among street level bureaucrats, efforts to curb this corruption have been tilted towards police leadership Jones 2014 6 . This study sought to investigate the link between bureaucratic leadership and corruption in the police service in Buea Municipality. Specifically, the study examined the link between the transformational, transactional and laissez faire leadership styles on corruption in the police service in Buea Municipality. Using a descriptive survey research design, the study adopted and modified Bass and Avolios 2000 Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire MLQ, Form 5X . The questionnaires were administered to 197 randomly sampled police officials alongside 5 drivers purposively selected in Buea with whom interviews were conducted. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences SPSS version 25 was used and the hypotheses tested using the Spearmans Rho Correlation Coefficient. This study found a very significant, negative and moderate relationship between transformational leadership style and corruption a significant, positive and moderate relationship between transactional leadership style and corruption and a very significant, positive and strong relationship was established between laissez faire leadership style and corruption. It was concluded that subordinate police officers greatly acknowledge the practice of the transactional leadership style in administration than the others. The laissez faire leadership style characterized by much leniency and much discretion greatly results in fraudulent acts and of criminality than the transformational and transactional leadership styles. It was recommended that police bosses should be strict and very observant institute positive competition and offer intellectual stimulation and appeal to their followers, provide relevant, moral, material and financial means as stated in the text.

Debate on Future Democracy and Corruption, in the Digital Age (from Theory to...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This article is a reflection on the future of humanity, especially for young people. In my opinion, this
model of World Society, where inequalities are increasing, where there are men who send other men to war, where men order
men to be killed for political differences and or economic interests, where Corruption reigns. We need to change the
paradigm. But the change will be long.
Democracy is a political regime in which all citizens, in the enjoyment of their Human and Political Rights, participate in
the choice of the governance model for the country and/or region, who in their activity create the laws and implement them,
exercising the power of governance, through universal suffrage. It encompasses the social, political, economic and cultural
conditions that allow the exercise of power, free and equal, in political self-determination.
Democracy is both a normative ideal and a set of true world institutions. We have competing ideals of what democracy
should be, and there are many institutional forms of democracy around the world. Both as an idea and as an institutional
form, democracy has evolved over time, as changing circumstances make it possible to modify and solidify some of the
democratic institutions, sometimes for the benefit of democracy and sometimes not. One of the reasons democracy has
evolved, as an idea or institutionally, is people's disappointment with existing democratic institutions.

Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

perception of corruption grew or was in thepreviousyearonlyslightlyreduced (but was strong growth between
2003 and 2008). After 2008, therewas a breakandindexbegan to fallsharply. Corruptioncertainlywas not

Keywords: Coruption, Slovenia, perceptionofCorruption, causesofCorruption, standard.
I. Introduction
Slovenia cannot be proud of the research of the world company Ernst & Young (2013)
published in Die Welt which has found that Slovenia in Europe is not a famous record holder, because
the proportion of managers, to whom bribing is usual is 96%. Slovenia is followed by Croatia with
90% and Ukraine with 85% (also former communist country).
Is there really so much corruption in Slovenia or is there a cause, that the perception of corruption rises
and the index of perception of corruption falls, in the real growth of corruption or the Slovenes was finally
reduced the level of tolerance according to corruption in the time of economic crisis. The paper published in Die
Welt (2012) has shown that Slovenia is just a little above the average EU27 according to the number of people,
who are at risk because of corruption every day. So there is a question is the influence of falling of the general
living standard increased the sensitivity of people and that is why they perceive the corruption there, where it is
not present.
Each new car, new employment in the central public administration, in the state companies, building a
prestigious house, everything is connected to corruption or there is a suspicion (Malnar, 2011, Ferenčina in
Kozorog, 2009). The influence of corruption is according to the facts against the public opinion, concerning
three different aspects (theoretical, specialisedpublic and the statistic facts)very well introduced by Škrbec and
Dobovšek (2013).
Corruption in Slovenia definitely exists. In the last years Slovenia is shocked by corruptible affairs that
pull their roots from the first years after the Slovenian Independence and from the partly successful transition
from the communist to democratic state with the market system. In the corruption there is an influence from the
state officials to the economists in the public as well as in the private sector. Some examples of the corruption
have already been investigated and completed by the court, some of them are waiting for the court hearing, a lot
of them are in the investigation phase and for many more examples there are just indices.
Corruption consists of three elements: moral, behaviour and authority (authority body) and some
authors (Gould. 1991 p. 468) determine it particularly as the moral problem: Corruption is non-moral and un-
ethical appearance which contains some moral deviations from the moral standards of the society that cause the
loss of respect and trust in the authorities (authority bodies). And there Slovenia is different from the other post-
communist states in the Eastern Europe, not according to the fact that it was and still is the most developed
transitional country. Unfortunately the other samples of behaviour of people are the same as they were before
democratic changes or they are just slightly different. Many things can be done by connections and
acquaintances. And people still unconditionally agree with that.
According to the law of complexity and prevention of corruption (ZintPK, 2011): “Corruption” is any
infraction of treating the officials and people in charge in the public and private sector as well as treating people
who have the initiative for infraction or people who can benefit because of directly or indirectly promised,
offered or given and demanded, accepted or expected reward for themselves or anybody else.

Corruption appears in all areas of the social life, everywhere where there is profit or reward for
individuals, groups and companies. There isn’t only one cause, but there are more and they operate connected in
combinations that provide corruption. There are causes made from political, social, economic and social
conditions of the individual state as well as the historical development, customs and culture (Horvat, 2008).
II. The Survey Of Literature
Corruption in post-communist countries
Karklins (2002) classified three types of corruption in his research: (1) Corruption between lower
officials or corruption in the level of Public Service, where exists bribing of participants in public works
programme having the intention of breaking the rules, the excessive legal regulations or messiness of the
individual areas of law and the use of permission and authorisation (for example inspections) for blackmailing;
(2) Corruption between officials by controlling of the state property where there is the changing-over the open
sources, missed controlling of the public sources and the financial gain of those, the financial gain from the
privatisation, negligence by the public procurements and the nepotism, clientelism and selling of working
places; (3) “Abduction” of the state by corruptive networks, that is the resumption of public institutions for
private businesses or criminal activities, hidden networks with the intention to create the political competition,
misusing of the judicial authorities, the corruption of judiciary, misusing of revision, searching and supervisory
authorizations, the compromising for political blackmailing and forcing, the corruption of media and different
ways of influences on free election (black funds, dissimulated advertising).
To draw a conclusion from the above entry, the main objects responsible for the event and development
of corruption of past-communist countries are: (1) Relatively high regulation and restriction of economic
activities which gives the mandate and power to officials by making decisions, individuals are prepared to pay
or offer payments to avoid restrictions and relatively low pays of civil servants, who are improving their
material standing by taking bribes (2) The dearth of professional ethics and faulty legislation which arrange the
area of corruption as the criminal offence and its ineffective sanctions (3) Customs and tradition has shown that
in past-communist countries corruption is almost a normal socially accepted event, because in communism
(socialism) corruption was a part of folklore tradition to differentiate between the countries with democratic
past, which prosecuted corruption.
The similar conclusions we can find by Kasdin (2004) by exploring corruption and its influences in
Bulgaria and Mongolia (both of them are post-communist countries), although he searched for the comparison
between them. But also in this comparison he found the elements of corruption (corruption in general
government, police, judicial administration, between the elected politicians), that results from the previous
mentioned (factors) agents, responsible for the development of corruption in transitional countries.
The similar classification of corruption according to its type and the subject matter we can find by Hren
(2002, p. 169-170): (1) Insignificant or casual corruption (some examples and scarce examples with
insignificant meaning); (2) the simple systematic corruption, where corruption relations are in the long term and
liable to repetition and are usually restricted to the competence of the individual official; (3) The systematic
corruption and economic criminal, which includes the large number of active and passive people according to
the greater number of years; (4) The systematic corruption and non-economic criminal which refers to organised
non-economic criminal and includes the systematic influence of organised criminal on representatives of
legislation, executive authority and judicial power as well.
Seldadyo and de Haan (2006, p. 14) differentiate between four different objects (determinants) of
corruption such as: (1) economic, (2) political, (3) legal and official and (4) religious and geo-cultural objects.
So it can be estimated that there are connections between individual determinants or objects in past-communist
countries or relation between politics and economy or legalism or officialdom and economy. Everything is
connected, because there still exist some networks from the time of communism that base on the residues of old
administration, the old economic connections and the old friendship or often the world conviction or there are
some new which base on the pure economic interest.
However corruption is present by large infrastructural projects. Bađunova (2009) finds out on the
example of Croatia which are the same for all post-communist countries: (1) Costs of building projects, where
country is the investor, often excel the planned once; (2) There are no quality analysis of expenses and
benefits;(3) There exist irregulatories by public procurements of all levels of government often connected to the
building business, but there is nothing done about this; (4) It looks like that some building companies are in the
privilege position; (5) There is large non-transparency by excepting plans, related to the building sector; (6)
Controlling the local budgets is not good enough, a lot of money goes to building objects; (7) Country is a major
investor in the building sector.
Corruption has the same effects in post-communist countries and furthermore (Blažek, 2011, p.411):
(1) The influence on companies – its especially big influence is on minor and medium sized companies, because
it makes competitiveness and profitability; (2) The influences of investments, that are because of corruption
3. Impact On The Perception Oc Corruption

minor (bribing increases the expenses of investments); (4) Ineffectiveness of international financial help –
financial devices are lost and do not reach the ones who really need them; (5) The worse quality of infrastructure
and public acts – the best provider is not chosen, but the one who used the corruptive deeds; (6) The negative
influence on tax revenues; (7) The negative influence on the state’s budget – by unjustified increasing of public
consumption.
As well as in Slovenia many researches of corruption were done in the countries of former Soviet
Union and everywhere we can find the same problems or samples of corruption in each and every country.
Among the variety of studies of this topic the researching corruption in Georgia (Engvall, 2012), researching
corruption in Hungary (Fazeskas et all, 2012) and the study of corruption in Ukraine (Shelly, 1998) and the
influence of corruption on farming direct foreign investments in the countries in transition (Smarzynska, Wei,
2000) can be exposed.
Corruption in Slovenia
How does the corruption in Slovenia differ from the other countries in transition? Just a little bit
because corruption in Slovenia is more sophisticated, more hidden and less rough than in some other post-
communist countries. There is less force, treats and relations to the organized criminal (except to the organised
economic criminal), but still negative influences are more or less the same or similar. There still exist the
residues of old administration (judicial administration as well), loyal to the former regime or the old leaders, but
there are still old friendships and old economic connections (so called Old Boys). There are also connections
which base on the residues or communist party and informing and security jobs (so called UDBO mafia1
), who
use many methods also typical for other socialist countries (compromising, blackmailing, hidden force and the
influence on media…). The same network of people who are much related and help each other was formed in
Russia in Komsomol (Dobovšek, Minič, 2005, p. 39).
If the two branches acted separately, the influence of corruption would be easier to handle. There is a
big danger for democracy as well as economy that the two branches act connected, because the old economic
relations, the residues of old administration (judicial administration as well) and the residues of so called
UDBO-mafia act related and in harmony.
The main reason for relations was, that the old president of Communist Party in Slovenia had the top
position in republic, superior to republic executive council (the government of Republic of Slovenia) and
directly superior to the republic security intelligent service or SDV (Service of the State Security – communist
police). The politic summit had the absolute supervision by the appointment of directors or governances in
(state) companies (just proven staff, by the political line).
When moving quickly from socialism into democracy in the year of 1991 the president of the new
independent Republic of Slovenia became the last president of the Slovene Communist Party. The lustration was
nor carried out, that is the reason why connections and networks remained practically untouched. Through the
transition so called forces got by political also the economic power and they still restrain the major part of
leading media, a part of the state administration and a part of judicial administration. Nevertheless the
unprogressive and unpaid bureaucratic body, the extreme regulation and restrictions of economic activities and
still the major part in the country in big and important companies direct to the corruption. The special period is
the public health system, where millions are lost according to very often modified public procurements (here are
networks and interests of old cultures and continuities are strongly related to the appearing of new actors), the
other doctors join them by their own-initiative.
The old actors are occupied by the new ones, who want their own share of participation by dividing the
state money. These networks or individuals are interested in getting money more than ideology. Dimic (2007, p.
66) find out that the influence of informal networks is large on all aspects as well as on the aspect of economy,
politics, the state institutions, health system, media… because of the littleness of the country are all aspects very
closely related, and that encourages the farming and raising of informal networks. This aspect of giving and
taking is present everywhere from forming laws, financing business, financing elections, employing people…
The special period are public procurements, where tradition is pulled from the former system of social
property Petch (2001, p. 25) and where is not recorded rule that by any larger investments (roads, bridges) the
smaller private or “social” object was built.
Some dating from the text above is determined by the research of Kurdija (2009) which was effected
for the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption of Republic of Slovenia, where was among the
respondents declared the conviction of relatively large spreading of corruption in public services, among the
ones who had some experience concerning corruption are doctors and medical officers.

The existence of informal networks in connection to corruption estimated the research in years 2003 –
2004 (DobovšekDimc, 2007, p. 76) and the research of Norwegian Institute for the Urban and Regional
Researches(Grodeland, 2005). There are some more researches or studies of corruption, where we can mention
also Tonin (2009), who examines the corruption on the level of municipalities and especially mayors and the
research of the influences of corruption on dealing between economic subjects (Partljič, 2012).
III. Methodology And Data
Using the econometrical analysis – method of the smallest squares the influence of individual
macroeconomic data: unemployment, purchasing capacity and changing of GDP on the previous year – like the
independent variables on perception of corruption (like independent variable) was analysed.
The data for macroeconomic information for the period between the years 1999 and 2013 (15 years) is
taken from the data of Slovene Statistical apparatus, data of index of perception of corruption got from the
website TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL. The index of perception of corruption, which was used in the
study measures the corruption in the public sector among the officials … and politicians, so the administratory
and political corruption. The index is based on surveys and researches which are deduced by independent
institutions among so called experienced experts: so among businessmen, analytics and local experts and not on
the empirical data. This estimate the abuse of authority, bribing the state administration, making use of the
processes of public procurement, falsity of public devices, success of anti-corruptive operations in public sector.
The hypothesis which was imposed was that at least some macroeconomic pointers (or their change) have
influence on index of perception of corruption (or its changing).
Index of perception of corruption is the estimation of corruption in public sector, acquired from surveys
and researches of independent institutions. The larger is the index the less corruptive is the country, by index 10
we can find the absolute absence of corruption, by index 0 – the properly corrupted country. (Source:
Transparency International)
The rate of unemployment is measured in % collected in the periods from 1999 – 2014 and shows the
changing of unemployment in Slovenia (Source: Slovene statistical apparatus).
Purchasing capacity expressed by the index, where the average purchasing capacity EU27=27 equal 10, as well
there is a chosen period of 16 years (1999 – 2014) (Source: Slovene statistical apparatus).
The change of GDP in % shows the changing (increasing and falling) of GDP in the period from 1999
– 2014 (Source: Slovene statistical apparatus)

Model 1: The influence of unemployment on the index of corruption
It can be seen from the graph, that there are some connections. Especially in the year 2008 when the
unemployment was the lowest, was the index of perception of corruption the largest or when the unemployment
is lower the index of perception of corruption is raising and so the other way round, after the year 2008, when
the unemployment started increasing, the index of perception of corruption began to fall (so by the low
unemployment is the perception of corruption low and reversed).

P-value is low, so it can be noticeable that there is statistically typical connection between
unemployment and the index of perception of corruption or is the influence of unemployment on the changing
index of corruption statistically typical. If the unemployment is rising for 1% (unemployment is expressed in %)
falls the index of perception of corruption in average to 0.119526% (rises the perception of corruption).
Model 2: The influence of changing the purchasing capacity on the index of perception of corruption
Also here can we see some connections from the graph. The curves are similar and the highest points

of purchasing capacity and the changing index of perception of corruption or the influence of changing of
purchasing capacity on changes of index of perception of corruption statistically typical. If the purchasing
capacity raises for 1%, increases also the index of perception of corruption in average to 1.007715% (so the
perception of corruption is lower).

There is no statistically typical influence of the changed economic growth on changes of index of

(statistically typical) influences the changes of perception of corruption.
Conclusion
According to their psychological profile (Musek, 1997, p. 26) Slovene people can be classified to
reasonably introvert and individually directed nations, that matches with their own and foreign stereotypes. So
the results got in this study are no surprise, because they match the essential findings of the Slovene
psychological profile.From the essential econometric models mentioned above, can be provided the basic model
ZK/S that shows the ratio between the perception of corruption (ZK) and the living standard (S), where the
height of the living standard S depends on the purchasing capacity (KM) and proportioned to the unemployment
(1/N) so:
S = f(1/N, KM)
8. Impact On The Perception Oc Corruption

Picture 4: The ratio between the perception of corruption and the standard
By high standard (low unemployment and high purchasing capacity) is the perception of corruption
low, there is less corruption than it usually is. By falling standard raises the perception of corruption in some
level the standard is the perception of corruption the same as the factor (there is the balance). When the standard
is lower, people become more sensitive about the corruption, they perceive it more than it truly exists.
However, to make a conclusion we can find out, that Slovene people have a high tolerance of
corruption (probably the remaining part of heritage of socialism, where all kinds of corruption were the usual
way of life, almost folklore) and they do not interfere in the affairs of others, but only as long as it does not
affect money. Then their perception of corruption totally change and they start perceive all there where it does
not exists or they do not receive it any more. So the hypothesis that there is statistically typical influence of
changing the unemployment and the changing of purchasing capacity on the index of perception of corruption
can be confirmed. Therefore, by changing of living standard happens the changing of perception of corruption.
However it is influenced by collectivism that was forced by former system and it was not in favour of
the personal structure and the tradition of Slovenes. It could change the personality profile, but it affected it by
redrafting of mentality of the nation. The Slovenes still hardly leave the enforced mentality of egalitarianism
without responsibility that throttles the creativeness and often takes the easiest way (also by the help of
corruption). The big changes made people of Slovenia to get rid of the two mortages: they became independent,
and made free from the collectivism, very strange to their culture, but there still remained habits and the part of
“socialistic folklore”.
The European way starts with the law order, political and social equality, but especially with the
cosmopolitan cultural identity. After the acception of those shadows, there will grow the culture of mutual
understanding and dialogue. Until now also the post-socialistic states, that reconstructed the failed democracy
(so called brake down countries) after the fall of Berlin wall, still haven’t frozen the way from post-transition to
transformation learning societies. Slovenia as one of the youngest and the smallest among them has no previous
experience in the same game (Novak, 2011). So it has to follow the example to older and more successful
democracies and change the mentality of the nation, not individuals. This is the only way to be successful in the
fight against the corruption.
The fact is that there is the connection between the perception of corruption and living standard. If we
take into the account, that the mentality of the Slovenes is also that they have a tendency to revolt and “rebel” if
somebody encroaches upon their living standard that derives from psychological profile of Slovenes (Musek,
1997), so we can claim, that often by perception of the first changes of pointers, that give evidence of the falling
standard (economic agents react very quickly and rationally upon the market changes), it raises also index of
perception of corruption. But where is the “balance” between the standard and corruption (where the perception
of corruption would be real), could be the subject of another in-depth research.
