Abstract

Svrha ovog rada je analiza korupcije kao polit-ekonomske pojave. Korupcija postoji već tisućama godina u raznim oblicima, a danas je prisutna u gotovo svim zemljama svijeta. Općenito se može definirati kao zlouporaba položaja, odnosno dodijeljene moći ili vlasti radi više ili manje osobne koristi. Osim što postoji u javnom sektoru, korupcija je prisutna i u privatnom sektoru, što se često zanemaruje. Stoga se kod polit-ekonomske analize korupcije u ovom radu pridaje podjednaka pažnja korupciji u javnom i korupciji u privatnom sektoru, primarno koristeći tu podjelu. Glavni uzroci pojave korupcije proizlaze iz nesavršenosti politike, birokracije, institucija, upravljanja i tržišta, dok su njezine posljedice na društvo, ekonomiju, politički sustav i pojedince brojne i premda ponekad mogu biti pozitivne, one su u konačnici negativne. S obzirom na to, korupcija je u većini država svijeta zabranjena zakonom, a često se provode i razne druge politike i mjere kojima se nastoji staviti pod kontrolu. Iako korupcija može biti smanjena, efikasna razina korupcije nije nula jer bi pokušaj njezine potpune eliminacije bio preskup. U Hrvatskoj je korupcija prepoznata kao problem te se s njom već godinama vodi manje ili više uspješna borba. Prema rezultatima provedenog anketnog istraživanja javnih i državnih službenika te privatnih poslovnih subjekata (privatnih poduzeća) o percepciji i iskustvima korupcije u javnom i privatnom sektoru u Hrvatskoj, može se zaključiti da je posljednjih godina u Hrvatskoj ostvaren napredak u suzbijanju korupcije, premda razina korupcije u zemlji još uvijek nije optimalna.

Abstract (english)

The purpose of this paper is to analyse corruption as a political economic phenomenon. Corruption has existed in various forms for thousands of years and today it is present in almost all the countries of the world. It can generally be defined as the misuse of position, entrusted power or authority for more or less personal gain. Apart from its existence in the public sector, corruption is present in the private sector too, which is often neglected. Hence, in the political economic analysis of corruption in this paper equal attention is given to the public corruption and private corruption, using primarily this classification. The major causes of corruption arise from the imperfections of politics, bureaucracy, institutions, management, and market, while its consequences on society, economy, political system, and individuals are numerous and although sometimes they can be positive, in the end they are negative. Considering that, corruption is prohibited by law in most of the states in the world and many other politics and measures to control corruption have often been carried. Although corruption can be reduced, its efficient level is not zero because an attempt to completely eliminate corruption would be too expensive. In Croatia corruption is recognized as a problem and it has been fought against with more or less success for years. According to the results of the survey research conducted on public and civil officials’ and private sector businesses’ (private companies’) perceptions and experiences of corruption in the public and private sector in Croatia it can be concluded that the progress has been made in the suppression of corruption in the last years, although the level of corruption in the country hasn’t been optimal yet.
