“…Trust spillovers—or conversely, deficits—could also result from the poor performance of related actors and institutions (Dominioni, Quintavalla, and Romano 2020; Muñoz, Torcal, and Bonet 2011). Second, trust further hinges upon a moral track record: that is, on appraisals of transparency and “doing the right thing.” Abuse of power, such as through corruption, can contribute to the erosion of trust (Bertsou 2019; Solé‐Ollé and Sorribas‐Navarro 2018), whereas transparency potentially communicates to others that powers are being exercised in the service of public interest. Finally, trust is informed by judgments of congruent interests between actors, for example, between citizens and their governing institutions (Bertsou 2019; Harteveld, van der Meer, and De Vries 2013; Torcal 2014).…”

Studies on renewable energy (RE) policies and policy making have generally focused on the Global North. This article homes in on how trust, an underexamined concept in the multi‐level governance literature, affects RE trajectories in Malaysia and Indonesia. Through comparative analysis, we find that different levels of trust result in similar degrees of RE policy support, but dissimilar degrees of engagement between state and societal actors in RE policy making. Negative expectations of the social grievances engendered by RE transitions contribute to reluctant, though legitimized, pursuits of clean energy production and consumption. Meanwhile, trust in actors' nationalism—that is, in opposing a Global North environmental agenda and demonstrating constitutionally aligned resource management in Malaysia and Indonesia, respectively—facilitates more inclusive policy making. Due to greater nationalism, Indonesia's state‐society engagement in RE governance is stronger and leads to a civil RE movement that outpaces Malaysia's overall.

“…A corrupção varia entre os países (Rodriguez, Uhlenbruck, & Eden, 2005), o que torna difícil uma definição única. Os escândalos de corrupção provocam espanto e indignação entre os cidadãos, que manifestam sua desaprovação à medida em que os esquemas corruptores são revelados e divulgados pela imprensa Página | 4317 (Solé-Ollé & Sorribas-Navarro, 2018). O conceito e a definição do fenômeno da corrupção não são unívocos, pois cada domínio das ciências sociais examina este fenômeno usando ferramentas teóricas e conceituais que lhes são próprias e cada disciplina científica tende a examinar a corrupção a partir de um determinado nível de análise, fundamentado no indivíduo (psicologia e economia), na organização social (sociologia), na economia (economia e ciência política) (Pinto, Leana, & Pil, 2008).…”

“…É o uso discricionário para promover interesses econômicos próprios em detrimento do bem comum (Shleifer & Vishny, 1993;Jain, 2001). A corrupção tem custos financeiros, econômicos e sociais em todos os países (Aidt, 2009;Vian & Crable, 2017), enfraquecendo a confiança nas instituições públicas e na qualidade dos serviços prestados (Solé-Ollé & Sorribas-Navarro, 2018).…”

O artigo tem como objetivo fornecer evidências empíricas da relação da corrupção nas instituições públicas do país e seus efeitos na imagem e na qualidade percebida do aparato público. Através de uma análise multivariada com 626 respondentes, o modelo conceitual é testado. Como esperado, a corrupção não é um ato consuetudinário, é perverso e não traz efeitos positivos para o país, comprometendo a reputação, a competência e, principalmente, acarretando a perda da confiança na democracia, o desinteresse pela política e a desconfiança em relação às instituições públicas. Nossos resultados sugerem que a corrupção é fenômeno multidimensional com efeitos generalizados e diversos provocando resultados controversos. Uma melhor compreensão da percepção dos efeitos colaterais da corrupção é obtida quando a corrupção é empregada como variável de moderação. Os resultados revelam um efeito negativo potencial na legitimidade democrática. Nosso estudo contribui para a expansão da literatura sobre corrupção versus qualidade e imagem das instituições públicas do país. Concluímos com uma discussão sobre as implicações práticas relacionadas às nossas descobertas.

Love is blind: partisan alignment and political corruption in Spain

Ever since the spectacular boom and bust cycle of the Spanish real estate industry, endemic corruption at the local level has become a widely recognized problem in the national public discourse. In an effort to expose an under-explored political determinant, this paper investigates the effect of local and regional alignment in fomenting corruption at the Spanish municipal level. To do so, we construct an ample panel dataset on the prevalence of corrupt practices by local politicians, which is employed to test the possible impact of partisan alignment in three consecutive joint municipal and regional elections. Findings show aligned municipalities to be more corrupt than non-aligned ones, an effect that is further associated with absolute majorities at both levels of government and higher capital transfers. By contrast, we also show that “throwing the rascals out” could be an effective strategy for curbing the corrupt practices of aligned municipalities. This indicates that the democratic political process may be effective in corruption control if agreements can be reached to remove corrupt politicians or parties from power.
