SOCIOLOŠKA OBJAŠNJENJA KORUPCIJE
SOCIOLOGICAL EXPLANATIONS OF CORRUPTION

Summary/Abstract: Josip Kregar’s book The Emergence of Predatory Capitalism and Corruption gave the author reason for a discussion on the possibilities of explaining corruption as well as determining its extent in Croatia and worldwide. Apart from the proposed historical and sociological debates, the author tests hypotheses on economic power and the diffusion of corruption, on the role of “human nature”, i. e. the theory of reciprocal altruism as explanation for the universal quality of corruption, on the role of transition in increasing corruption. He also compares the theories mentioned to data provided by world organizations on the extent of corruption in specific countries of the world.
