Public Management Review, 2022, vol. 24, issue 8, 1182-1207

Abstract: Based on the relationship between the powers of the state and society, this paper aims to identify the democratic components that positively and significantly impact the perception of corruption results. The public administration and theoretical economics references focus on the themes of state, society, institutions, democracy, governance, and corruption. This investigation is a quantitative regression study based on multivariate panel data of 14 years covering 164 countries. The paper’s main contribution is the identification of scientific evidence that democratic levels related to the functioning of government and political participation have a positive and significant impact on the perception of corruption.
