Corruption -broadly defined as the misuse of public office for private gains [1, 2] -costs every country a large amount of financial, political and social resources every year. Research on the causes, consequences and combat strategies of corruption are manifold and very revealing. Previous studies indicate, for example, that wellestablished democracies show lower levels of corruption than authoritarian regimes or young democracies [3][4][5][6]. At the same time, high levels of corruption undermine democracy. By diverting rare resources from disadvantaged people, it damages the rule of law, social justice and lowers the trust of citizens in political institutions and processes [7,8].The reciprocal democracy-corruption nexus has already been analyzed in several studies and is nowadays well-established [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Previous research shows that democracy does not guarantee clean and transparent governance at all and democratic systems are still fighting against corruption [16][17][18][19][20], even in countries that are often seen as almost free of corruption. Yet, frequent scandals like in the United Kingdom, Iceland, United States or Spain illustrate that corruption is a serious problem in nearly every state in the world (e.g. [21]).This Special Issue focuses on the relationship between corruption and the impact of democracy from diverse perspectives and different regions and countries around the world. Specifically, the following articles consider the role of democratic institutions in curbing corruption, the interrelation between democratic values and corrupt behavior, and the importance of corruption in democratization processes in post-conflict states. The findings of this issue illustrate that there is no 'one size fits all' solution for preventing corruption, yet there are certain mechanisms and elements in democratic and democratizing countries that support anti-corruption.Crime Law Soc Change

The objective of this study is to analyze the causality between democracy and corruption in Indonesia for the period of 1995 to 2017. This study perform a multivariate cointegration test with government expenditure as a control variable and cross-check this long-run relationship with an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model approach to cointegration beside multivariate approach proposed by Johansen & Juselius. The results show that there is cointegration among the variables specified in the model of corruption equation when government expenditure is taken into account. Indeed, for corruption and democracy to move together in the long run, they need to be associated with government expenditure. The tests for Granger Causality conducted show a long-run causality running from democracy and government expenditure to corruption. In other word, the democracy and government expenditure Granger cause corruption and not the reverse. In short-run, there is neutrality causation between democracy and corruption.

“…Unos afirman que la democracia es una poderosa herramienta para combatir la corrupción (Langseth, 1999, pp.12-15); (Treisman, 2000); (Chowdhury, 2004, p.13). Otros, por el contrario, prueban que las prácticas democráticas no muestran especial eficacia a la hora de garantizar ejercicios de poder limpios y transparentes (Kubbe, 2015); (Montinola y Jacman, 2002); (Olteanu, 2012). Algunos más, incluso, niegan que exista conexión alguna entre ambas variables (Fisman y Gatti, 2002, pp.336-338).…”

Un análisis crítico en torno a la relación entre democracia y corrupción: el caso México

Este artículo argumenta que democracia y corrupción son variables endógenas, es decir, variables que se condicionan recíprocamente. Además su comportamiento está determinado por otras variables sistémicas usualmente difíciles de observar y cuantificar. Prácticas corruptas obstaculizan la consolidación de la democracia y una democracia mal consolida genera corrupción. Este carácter endógeno es la causa de que la literatura especializada no sea conclusiva respecto a si existe o no una correlación lineal negativa ente democracia y corrupción. Para ilustrar esta tesis analizo el caso representativo de México. Si bien tanto la impunidad como la corrupción han sido constantes en la historia del desarrollo de ese país, ambas han tenido una elevación exponencial y descontrolada a raíz de que en el año 2000 iniciara el proceso de democratización que puso fin al régimen de partido único de Estado. En el caso de México no hay duda de que mayor democracia ha significado mucho mayor corrupción, a la par que la corrupción ha impedido la consolidación democrática. Analizaré cuáles son los mecanismos causales que permiten explicar esto. Finalizaré concluyendo que, no obstante lo anterior, la única solución viable a este problema pasa por el robustecimiento del estado de derecho y las instituciones democráticas.
