CORRUPTION: CAUSES, INFLUENCES AND EFFECTIVE METHODS OF STRUGGLE

Abstract

Since ancient times, power and corruption have been inseparable. Throughout history, parallel to the evolution of the state, corruption has evolved. If at the dawn of the formation of statehood, payment to a priest, leader or military commander for a personal appeal to their help was considered as a universal norm, then later, with the complication of the state apparatus, professional officials began to officially receive only a fixed income - which meant the transition of bribes to the shadow economy.
