反腐败的实质是反权力的滥用

反腐败的重点应该放在制约权力的滥用上。要有效地加强对公共权力的控制,必须从三个方面入手:一是加强对权力的制约;二是加强对权力的监督;三是加强对权力掌握者的思想政治教育和职业道德教育。

When civil engagement is part of the problem: Flawed anti-corruptionism in Russia and Ukraine

In developing countries, the fight against corruption entails purges of political and business elites and the restructuring of electoral, financial, and social provision systems, all of which are costly for the incumbents and, therefore, unlikely without sustained pressure from civil society. In the absence of empirical analyses, scholars and practitioners have, therefore, assumes that civil society plays an unequivocally positive role in anti-corruptionism. In this article, we challenge this dominant assumption. Instead, we show that, under certain conditions, an engaged non-governmental community may, in fact, undermine the fight against corruption. Using the data from forty interviews with anti-corruption practitioners in Ukraine and Russia, as well as primary documentary sources, we present two models of anti-corruptionism whereby active civil engagement produces suboptimal outcomes. One is faux collaboration, defined as a façade of cooperation between the state and civil society, which hides the reality of one-sided reforms. The other model is that of non-collaborative co-presence, whereby the governance role is shared by the government and non-governmental activists without compromise-based solutions. In both cases, civil engagement helps perpetuate abuses of power and subvert such long-term goals of anti-corruption reforms as democratization and effective governance.     

论《联合国反腐败公约》及其对我国的影响

联合国于2003年9月底制定了《联合国反腐败公约》。《公约》由7部分内容组成,主要包括总则、预防措施、定罪执法、国际合作、资产追回、技术援助与信息交流及公约的实施机制等。《公约》在反腐败方面体现了透明度、国际合作、预防为主等特点,并且强调实体法与程序法、公权机构与私权机构、民事责任与刑事责任的三个结合。在此基础上,针对我国反腐败机制现状的不足,建议加强廉政教育、建立反腐败机构、建立政务公开制度、制定廉政立法、建立财产申报制度、加快干部人事改革等方面完善我国反腐败机制。
