Abstract: Purpose - – The paper aims to investigate the connection between corruption and ethnic polarization and religious fractionalization.

Countries with expectations higher or lower than the norm in corruption were identified. Originality/value - – The paper highlights the connection between corruption and ethnicity for some 127 countries.
