Vilka korruptionssyndrom påverkas Kosovo av? : En fallstudie om korruptionen i Kosovo

Sammanfattning: Corruption is a global phenomenon were countries get involved socially, politically and economically.1 Corrupted actions in one country don’t need to be seen as corruption in another country, the law on what is considered corruption differs. The empirical analysis which I used is a qualitative theory-consuming research design with Kosovo as case in center. The essay’s research question is Which corruption syndromes does Kosovo get affected by? The essay explains in which way corruption affects Kosovo by Johnston corruption syndrome. Johnston uses influence markets, elite cartels, oligarchs and clans and official moguls as different corruption syndromes, to explain diverse corruption. Influence markets handle uses of wealth to search influence within political and administrative institutions. Elite cartels consist of politicians, bureaucrats, military and ethnic leaders who distribute the benefits of corruption among themselves. Oligarchs and clans handle organized crime, officials and corrupted politicians who use political power and violence to get their will through. Political figures within official moguls “set the frame” for which direction societies shall strive. Kosovo, I find is undergoing official moguls-syndrome corruption because of its occurrences which show that those who are involved in corruption cases have connections to senior politicians.
