Corruption of Petty Officials:A Comparative Study of Ancient Petty Officials and Modern Village Cadres

中国的王朝国家时代在生产力发展水平和政治体制上与现今有着巨大差别,但古代胥吏与现代村官的共同主体特征使他们的贪腐行为在表现、动因以及影响上呈现出诸多相似之处。从历史比较的角度研究古今小官贪腐行为,可以发现,来自行政体制的纵向监管和村级自治体的横向监管的缺失,是村官贪腐的重要条件。现代小官贪腐防治应从加强党的领导、提升小官获得感和责任意识、落实监督制度和保障基层民主上发力,构建基层小官“不想腐、不能腐、不敢腐”的长效机制,形成基层风清气正的良治局面。

Despite the enormous differences in the level of productivity development and political system between the age of Chinese empires and nowadays,the ancient and modern petty officials share the same subjectivity characteristic,which makes their corruption have great similarity in expression,motivation and influence.It can be found that,from the perspective of historical comparison,the lack of vertical supervision from the administrative system and horizontal supervision from the autonomous organization are the crucial conditions for the corruption of petty officials.To prevent and control the corruption of modern village cadres,we ought to strengthen the leadership of the Communist Party of China,enhance the sense of fulfillment and the consciousness of responsibility of village cadres,implement the supervision system and safeguard the democracy at grassroots level,as well as establish a disciplinary and prevention mechanism which creates enough deterrence so that village cadres are unwilling to corrupt,not dare to corrupt,and unable to corrupt,which can foster a healthy political atmosphere of integrity at grassroots level.
