“…On the contrary, Moriconi and Carvalho (2016) argue that the importance of economic factors is highly correlated only in socially vulnerable layers of the population. Based on the obtained values of total relevancy of factors underlying corrupt behaviour in the public sector we can say that in fi rst place are the factors underlying corrupt behaviour that operate at an informal level and emanate from the jurisdiction and police environments (which is confi rmed in a study by Montinola and Jackman 2002). Marques (2010) complements our conclusions and argues that corrupt behaviour in the public sector is also infl uenced by the high levels of impunity, when citizens see how members of diff erent elites are not punished aft er being denounced for corruption.…”

“…Correlation between the monopoly market environment and extensive state intervention regulating the environment and corruption is confi rmed by several studies (Kligaard 1998;Broadman and Recanatini 1999;Djankov et al 2002;Treisman 1999;Lambsdorff et al 2000;Ades and di Tella 1999). Another economic factor in the growth of corruption is the size of the public sector (Elliot 1997;Montinola and Jackman 2002;Graeff and Mehlkop 2003) and the low salaries of public-sector employees (Tanzi 1998;Sičáková-Beblavá and Beblavý, 2007;Ochrana and Maaytová 2012).…”

Interdisciplinary defi nitions of corruption perceive corrupt actions as contrary to legal and ethical standards aff ecting the public interest, perpetrated by a person in public offi ce. Th e main goal of the study is to identify the factors of corrupt acts in the public sector stemming from the economic, political, cultural and social environments in the Slovak Republic. Th rough the Delphi method we verify the relevance of economic, political and cultural-social factors of corrupt acts in the public sector defi ned in the theoretical framework of this issue. Th e Delphi method was used under the following conditions: the anonymity of experts, feedback control and statistical determination of a consensus of experts. Expert evaluation of the factors underlying corrupt behaviour in the public sector enabled us not only to detect the overall relevance of the factors, but also to identify areas where corruption in the public sector is most widespread, according to experts. We can state that the most problematic areas include the judiciary and the police.

“…Despite the fact that corruption is a common practice in many countries, it would be a mistake to consider the phenomenon itself as part of the manners and customs (Tanzi, 1998;Treisman, 2000;Montinola & Jackman, 2002;Seligson, 2002;Graeff & Mehlkop, 2003;Wallace & Latcheva, 2006). …”

The phenomenon of corruption is global and extends in many areas of the public sector. However, in Greece it appears to be socially acceptable since in the case of illegal benefits and pensions, the corruption of the public officials takes place with the collaboration of the ISSN 2377-3294 2017 citizens who receive such pensions and allowances. It should be noted that in Greece the phenomenon has not been fully recorded since the only information available can be derived from the Press due to the publicity that such cases take and because of the large sums of money involved and the great damage they cause to the public sector. The fact is that this phenomenon is an important proof for the social fostering of corruption and that it is motivated by the pursuit of illicit enrichment both by the public officials and the citizens.

“…El argumento que aquí se plantea es que, a medida que el poder político se encuentra compartido entre un mayor número de actores, existirían mayores probabilidades de un "buen gobierno" al interior del ejecutivo, la legislatura y las cortes (Montinola y Jackman, 2002). La idea central en este caso es que si el poder político se encuentra más fragmentado, las probabilidades de que existan diferentes intereses en los poderes del Estado es mayor, facilitando así el mutuo control y chequeo de sus acciones y desincentivando la presencia de conductas corruptas.…”

ResumenEste artículo identifica las principales variables que explican la corrupción judicial en jueces inferiores y cortes intermedias de Chile, Perú y Ecuador. Refinando la metodolo gía existente para la medición de la corrupción judicial e incorporando variables endó genas y exógenas al modelo, se propone que la formación profesional de los jueces, el respeto a la carrera judicial y el grado de fragmentación del poder en la arena política explican diferentes grados de corrupción judicial. A través de un modelo comparativo diacrónico y sincrónico de Chile, Perú y Ecuador, el artículo también constata que dise ños institucionales en los que existen mayores instancias de impugnación o un mayor número de procedimientos, suelen ser más proclives a pagos ilegítimos u otras formas de corrupción judicial. AbstractThis article identifies the main variables that explain judicial corruption in Chile, Peru, and Ecuador. Improving the current methodological strategies used to measure judicial corruption and incorporating endogenous and exogenous variables in the model, this article argues that legal training of the judges, respect for the judicial career, and the frag mentation of political power explain different degrees of judicial corruption. Through a comparative diachronic and synchronic research design of Chile, Peru and Ecuador, the article shows institutional designs with more legal steps will be more inclined to illegal payments or other types of judicial corruption.
