Finding Solutions to Endemic Corruption in Post-Soviet Countries

Abstract

With the fall of the Soviet Union in 1992, various countries under Soviet domination were tasked with reimagining their governing structures. For some, however, lack of historical association with Western European values led to endemic corruption characterised by bribery, embezzlement, and, in some cases, resorting to murder. There have been, however, cases where governments and societies have successfully reduced the amount of corruption, especially in the political sphere. When research into how countries such as China, Singapore, New Zealand, Sweden and others tackled this problem was conducted, there appeared certain commonalities among them. These commonalties,  including but not limited to rule of law, removal of political immunity and surety of punishment, serve as an outline for addressing and solving the ongoing corruption problems that plague many countries, especially post-Soviet ones.
