摘要
民主在某种程度上可以遏制腐败,是不言自明的道理。但在实行民主制特别是实行西方式代议制民主的国家中,却有许多国家深陷腐败而无力自拔。印度这个自称为世界上最大的民主国家,自独立以来,逐步由一般性腐败发展到政治腐败,再到制度性腐败,说明民主制度本身并不能自动遏制腐败,在一定条件下它还可能成为腐败的催化剂。民主制度要能够遏制腐败,要求所建立的是真正的而不是形式上的民主,而与制度建设同样重要的,是所选择的制度形式是否具有使其有效发挥作用的本土条件。
To a certain extent, democracy can curb corruption, which is a self-evident truth. However, in some countries where democracy, Western-style representative democracy in particular, is in place, corruption is still prevalent. Indi- a, claiming itself to be the world＇s largest democracy, has since its independence experienced the deterioration from general corruption to political corruption, until institutional corruption, indicating that the democratic system itself cannot automati- cally curb corruption, and under certain circumstances, it may become catalyst for corruption. For the democratic system to curb corruption, it is necessary to establish real rather than formal democracy; equally as institutional building, it is neces- sary to choose a form of democracy that is supported with indigenous conditions.
