“…If the top politicians (the government, parties and leading politicians) are corrupt, then corruption manifests itself at all levels, and this evil simultaneously spreads among the ordinary population because no one trusts the institutions or the rule of law. Johnston (2000) points to useful thinking in terms of two types of balance – the balance between openness and autonomy of institutions and elites, and the balance between political and economic power and opportunities for cooperation. Ideally, institutions should be open to influence and feedback from various sources, but at the same time independent enough to perform their work effectively.…”

Purpose Despite all the anti-corruption measures and anti-corruption initiatives, people offer or accept bribes without any hesitation. As anywhere in the world, the negative consequences of corruption lead to a reduction in direct investment, increase inequality and poverty, distort and use public investment and reduce public revenues. The purpose of this article is to study the criminological measures to counteract corruption offences in the field of illegal gambling. Design/methodology/approach The methodological basis of the study is the provisions of the theory of knowledge: the laws of dialectical materialism, philosophical categories and scientific principles of cognition of social and legal reality. Findings Although many components of foreign state anti-corruption programmes are quite problematic to apply in modern realities in the Republic of Kazakhstan, according to legal scholars, through gradual implementation into the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan because of the systematic improvement by the state of the content of regulations and responsible implementation of anti-corruption strategies. In this regard, one of the conditions in the fight against corruption is actions aimed at using the best practices of countries that are similar to each other in terms of religion, habits, traditions, ethics and morality. Originality/value Anti-corruption initiatives using information and communication technologies, such as digital public services and e-government, crowdsourcing platforms, tools for exposing, transparency portals, blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies can provide significant assistance in combating manifestations of corruption in the field of illegal gambling on the internet in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

“…Corruption in rentier states has been associated with specific characteristics such as poor governance, weak institutions, and clientelism (Johnston, 1999), but has also a great effect on the behavior of the elite. The elite is able, through manipulating government resources, to retain political support through dispersing tangible benefits for the voters, buying votes, and building as well as sustaining an entire system of corrupt practices (Manzetti & Wilson, 2007).…”

This article theorizes the role of the elite in a sectarianized political system with a rentier economy. It argues that by virtue of the sectarian and ethnic representation of the sub‐identities, the long‐term interests of society are neglected. The reliance on natural resources creates a competition within the elite to seize the state's revenue for narrow interests. Finally, in such a setting, the elite attempts the monopolization of the flow of information to the public to shore up its legitimacy. The case study is Iraq since it is one of the few, if not the sole, sectarianized political system with a rentier economy. The political elite, despite an abysmal performance for nearly two decades, has been resilient and garnered more power. The continuous malpractice encompasses all the political players who agree on the governing rules by which they maintain their position within the system, and with limited circulation of the elite.Related ArticlesAli, Hamid E., and Shahjahan Bhuiyan. 2022. “Governance, Natural Resources Rent, and Infrastructure Development: Evidence from the Middle East and North Africa.” Politics & Policy 50(2): 408–40. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12451.Howie, Peter. 2018. “Policy Transfer and Diversification in Resource‐Dependent Economies: Lessons for Kazakhstan from Alberta.” Politics & Policy 46(1): 110–40. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12239.Khodr, Hiba. 2014. “A Preliminary Comparative Study of Policy Making in Two GCC Countries—Qatar and Kuwait: Processes, Politics, and Participants.” Politics & Policy 42(2): 271–310. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12068.

“…According to Johnson, the burden of corruption is on the shoulders of people with low incomes and therefore pay part of their income to individuals with high incomes. Corruption diverts government spending from projects that benefit low-income people, such as health and education, and goes to spending on defense and armaments, where corruption is widespread [5] .…”
