POLITICAL CORRUPTION - DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS


purposes, like repression of political opponents and general police brutality, is not considered political corruption   illegal acts  by private persons or corporations not directly involved with   the    government is  not   considered political corruption either.   Illegal acts by office holders  constitute political corruption only  if the   are directly related to their official duties  
All  forms of government are susceptible to political  corruption  forms of corruption vary, but include bribery,  extortion, cronyism,  nepotism, patronage, graft and  embezzlement
while   corruption may  facilitate  criminal enterprise such as  drug  trafficking,  money   laundering   and   trafficking, it is not  restricted to these   organized l crime activities. In some counties corruption is so common  that is expected    when  ordinary business   or citizen  interact with government officials.   The   end –point   of political corruption is a kleptocracy, literally   ‘rule by thieves” what   constitutes illegal corruption differs depending  on  the  country   or jurisdiction certain political funding practices that are  legal in one place may be illegal in another. In some countries government officials have broad or not  well defined powers,  and   the line  between  what is  legal and   illegal can be difficult to draw
