Canadians assume that their politicians and institutions are relatively free of the corruption they associate with other nations. The editors of this volume argue that this questionable supposition is based on scant evidence and very little serious analysis.

"This paper assesses corruption levels and trends among countries in the transition countries of Eastern Europe and Central Asia (ECA) based on data from several sources that are both widely used and cover most or all countries in the region. Data from firm surveys tend to show improvement in most types of administrative corruption, but little change in "state capture" in the region. Broader, subjective corruption indicators tend to show somewhat greater improvement in ECA than in non-ECA countries on average. A "primer on corruption indicators" discusses definitional and methodological differences among data sources that may account in large part for the apparently conflicting messages they often provide. This discussion concludes that depending on one's purpose, it may be more appropriate to use data from a single source rather than a composite index because of the loss of conceptual precision in aggregation. A second conclusion is that the gains in statistical precision from aggregating sources of corruption data likely are far more modest than often claimed because of interdependence among data sources. The range of detailed corruption measures available in firm surveys are exploited to show that broad, perceptions-based corruption assessments appear to measure primarily administrative corruption, despite their stated criteria placing great weight on "state capture." Finally, the paper emphasizes the need for scaling up data initiatives to fill significant gaps between our conceptual definitions of corruption and the operational definition embodied in the existing measures.

The monograph is devoted to the analysis of scientific approaches applied to the study of political corruption during the twentieth century and the current situation with the study of this phenomenon in the academic sphere; reviewing and structuring the diversity of existing definitions of political corruption, as well as correlating them with terms such as "corruption in politics" and "bureaucratic or administrative corruption"; analysis of strengths and weaknesses of various foreign and domestic methods of studying the phenomenon of political corruption; special attention was paid to the use of evaluation methods to the study of political corruption. The paper assesses the interaction and interrelation of two types of corruption - political and bureaucratic - on the process of their formation and course. The use of the modeling method to study the phenomenon of political corruption is analyzed and the limits and possibilities of this method in this perspective are outlined. The author's algorithm of analysis of cases of political corruption in such countries as Italy, the Czech Republic, Poland, Bulgaria, Russia, Ukraine and Tajikistan in the 1990s was used. / The monograph is an attempt to verify the presence or absence of a holistic theory of political corruption and a universal method for studying this phenomenon. / For researchers dealing with corruption, specialists in the field of combating and combating corruption, anti-corruption policy development, university professors, graduate students, students interested in research on corruption.
