مبارزه با فساد

Corruption ranks together with effective democratic representation as the most important problems facing local governments. The objective of this article is to provide both conceptual and practical frameworks, as well as an international perspective with concrete examples, to address the contexts that create perverse incentives for corruption and to provide practical solutions. The case study will serve to underscore and guide local reformers and citizen groups who are intent on changing corrupt systems by introducing practical strategies to combat corruption and reform local institutions. Practical tools and approaches are presented to be used during the case study are including how to involve people in policymaking; different diagnostic tools to identify priorities of reform; informatics to track public revenue and expenditure; simplified rules to improve the procurement process; diagnostics; and participatory techniques for developing and monitoring local budgets.

Many countries in response to the needs of citizens to overcome corruption in administration have already moved towards the national anti-corruption strategies. But few countries have been successful in implementing such strategies. Many countries and international organizations like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, while providing prescriptions, impose structural changes. But what is Iranian model for the fight against corruption? The answer to this question is not so clear. In this research a native model for anti-corruption in Iran will be offered. In this regard around 45 theses and Persian books and over 30 foreign articles were examined. In order to localize models, legislation related to the issue of corruption and Islamic views in the fight against corruption and bribery Along with the remarks of the Supreme Leader in this field were examined.

Since a long time ago, the issue of corruption has been looked at from the perspective of culture and society. Hence, cultural and social strategies have been accompanying managerial, organizational, supervisory, technological (like electronic governance) and political ones. Among this, some of the fundamental concepts related to culture have been forgotten. One of these forgotten concepts is “identity”. In other words, the impact of collective identity as an important and influential factor on alleviating administrative and financial corruption has been ignored. This paper pays attention to this matter and delves into its different dimensions. Therefore the main question is: how much collective identity affects the desire to engage in corruption as well as managing and countering administrative and financial corruption?

In today’s world and especially in developing countries, administrative corruption is a phenomenon that is known as a one of the foremost factors impeding the progress of the society. Administrative corruption is part of the issues that organizations inevitably experience throughout their lives. These issues refer to the problems whose roots mostly lie out of the organization but their impacts affect the organization. Regarding combating corruption, there are two types of basic theories revolving around these issues, those of the optimists and those of the pessimists. The first type theories consider any kind of action and initiative for ending administrative corruption as futile and the second type theories are of the belief that corruption may be lessened just like many pother existing phenomena in the society as the result of a process and through collective wisdom, institutional initiatives, gradual change in the economic and cultural structures of the society as well as changes in the social capital.In order to eliminate or alleviate this sinister phenomenon we need programs whose objective is to prevent of administrative corruption instead of fighting it through designing punitive procedures that aim to combat administrative corruption after it has occurred. It is said and believed in the medical world that, “prevention is better than the cure” and that prevention can get us to our destination cheaper and faster. Here, we would like to reiterate that reinforcing social capitals has the capacity to prevent many of the currents tinged with administrative corruption from happening. Therefore in this paper, the second method (prevention) is delved into.In every society, social capital is necessary for any activity. The most important social capital is winning the trust of others that allows us to obtain what we can’t achieve ourselves in a more efficient way and with less trouble. This shows the value of consistent cooperation in society. With the loss of social capital, public trust is lost too, therefore no cooperation results for fighting corruption
