中央政府權限大小、貪腐與經濟成長之關係-以前蘇聯範圍國家為例
The effect of Central Government and corruption on economic growth- The Case of Former Soviet Countries
摘要
長久以來，俄國便已腐敗聞名於全球，不管是前蘇聯時期，抑或當前的俄羅斯，貪腐現象已經達到了某種令人觸目驚心的地步，不論是中央政府高層，或者地方政府官員、聯邦安全局、警察與海關部門中皆有貪腐收賄等情事。貪腐簡直如鐵銹般地的逐漸腐蝕整個國家政權，甚至嚴重影響到整個國家龐大行政機器的運轉，及國家經濟層面上的發展。然而近年來卻有相關領域的學者針對該情況提出類似「東亞矛盾」此不一樣的見解，其認為於某種情況下，適度的貪腐反有助於經濟上的成長。此外，中央政府權限之大小對於政府之貪腐程度亦有所影響。 本論文研究目的在於探討自前蘇聯解體後，貪腐、經濟成長以及國家政府權限大小之相關性，藉由該研究來試圖探討貪腐對於經濟成長之相關性，以及中央政府權限的大小是否會影響到該國的貪腐程度。 藉由本論文之研究，可獲得以下三點重要發現：第一、貪腐具有某種地域上之性質，分布狀態非隨機發生。第二、中央政府權限越大，反有助於政治上清廉之落實。第三、「東亞矛盾」並非適用於前蘇聯所有國家當中。另外於樣本分群下，我們可以得到前獨聯體國家群中，較為清廉的國家，往往具有較佳經濟成長之結論。

For a long time, Russia has been known as one of the most corruption-hit countries in the world. This holds true regarding both the former Soviet Union and contemporary Russia The scale of corruption has reached the dimensions threatening social stability and economic growth. It is rampant on all levels and branches of administration – central and local, the Federal Security Service , police and customs authorities, municipal governments etc. But is corruption just an obstacle to development or its necessary factor in the absence of strong civil society and democratic order ? Some scholars refer to the so called "East Asian Paradox": corruption has not hindered the economic growth in the Far East. One can also argue that the reasonable level of corruption can contribute to the economic growth in some cases. In addition, the size of central government authority for the government also has an impact on the degree of corruption. The purpose of this research is to explore the relationship between corruption, economic growth and the size of the state administration in the former Soviet Union. This study has led the author to the following conclusions: First, distribution of corruption follows e definite regional pattern and not quite random. Second, the greater the authority of the central government is, the more opportunities it has to pursue the cleaning politics. Third, the "East Asian Paradox" is not applicable to all states of the former Soviet Union. Through some case-studies of corruption it is possible to claim that countries with comparatively low corruption level often have better conditions for the economic growth in the group of CIS countries.
