泰国政府民主转型过程中的腐败与反腐败

Corruption and anti-corruption during the transformation course of democracy in Thailand

民主选举、政党竞争执政在理论上一直被视为实现权力监督、医治权力腐败的灵丹妙药。但泰国从军人统治向民选政治的转型并没有带来国家政治清廉。泰国政府通过建立和完善独立的反腐机制、强化和完善反腐法律体系、推行和完善官员财产申报制度、发挥公民社会作用等反腐举措,取得了显著成效。但由于泰国根深蒂固的传统文化与现代廉政建设之间存在冲突,以及政治经济利益的复杂性,从而在一定程度上抵消了反腐的效果,泰国仍属"严重腐败国家"。

Democratic election and parties competing for the power has always in theory been regarded as an elixir for supervision of power and against corruption. But the shift from the military government to democratic administration in Thailand has not brought clean politics for the country. It is by establishing a set of independent anti- corruption systems that the Thailand government has achieved remarkable results. These include the law system against corruption, the implement of declaration system of wealth for officials and to bring to full play of citizens＇ role in anti-corruption. But the conflict between the traditional culture of Thailand and modern anti-corruption and complexity in politics has to a certain degree set off the effect of anti-corruption. Therefore Thailand is still a seriously corrupted country.
