“…The issue of legality versus corruptibility is appealing in the sense that it positions intents, possibilities, opportunities, mere expectations, and public trust against such specific terms as public office, size of a bribe, fact of bribery, etc. Arora (1993) singles out four perspectives on corruption, including legal, historico-cultural, public interest, and market-centered approaches. Hodgkinson (1997) notes that "According to Arora, the main advantage of adopting a legal perspective on corruption is that it '…enables an agreement over the definition and … scope of its study' (1993:2).…”

“…In the coercive type, the corruption is forced upon the corruptee by those in power and authority. In the non-conjunctive type, the corruption benefits are obtained at someone else's expense and victims are unaware of their victimization (Arora, 1993).…”

Corruption often spreads because of ignorance and lack of adequate knowledge about the subject as well as how to correct and contain it. On the other side, corrupt legal, political, bureaucratic, and other social system(s) help corruption swell further. The current article sets out to discuss the question: Is there is a relation between perceived grand corruption and petty corruption? In Iran, too, these two types of corruption have recently become debatable issues. And as in Iran, corruption has become the most challenging issue in many developing countries. With respect to the above relationship, while the theoretical literature makes ambiguous predictions, empiricists, too, have focused little on this subject. The present article tries to examine this issue systematically and, hence, suggests that the perceived grand corruption is significantly associated with the petty corruption. Similar results persist even when grand corruption originates in a country's legal system. In a nutshell, the article identifies a positive correlation between perceived grand corruption and petty corruption.

Education in Central Eurasia has become one of the services most affected by corruption. Corruption in academia, including bribery, extortion, embezzlement, nepotism, fraud, cheating, and plagiarism, is reflected in the region's media and addressed in a few scholarly works. This article considers corruption in higher education as a product of interrelations between the government and academia. A substantial block of literature considers excessive corruption as an indicator of a weak state. In contrast to standard interpretations, this article argues that in non-democratic societies corruption is used on a systematic basis as a mechanism of direct and indirect administrative control over higher education institutions. Informal approval of corrupt activities in exchange for loyalty and compliance with the regime may be used in the countries of Central Eurasia for the purposes of political indoctrination. This paper presents the concept of corruption and coercion in the stateuniversity relations in Central Eurasia and outlines the model which incorporates this concept and the 'feed from the service' approach. It presents implications of this model for the state-university relations and the national educational systems in Central Eurasia in general and offers some suggestions on curbing corruption.
