La perception de la corruption : une autre perception

Lorsqu’elle est traitée dans la littérature académique, la perception de la corruption est généralement mise en rapport avec la réalité du phénomène. La question est alors de savoir dans quelle mesure un tel rapprochement est pertinent. Cet article se propose d’aborder la notion de perception de la corruption dans une autre optique. L’intention est de la comprendre, non comme une impression, mais comme une position de principe. De ce point de vue, il s’agira d’examiner comment les diverses formes de corruption sont jugées par la population. La logique économique se trouvera ainsi en relation avec la dimension éthique.

L’entreprise familiale est-elle corrompue ?

Is family business corrupt? Since the Enron and WorldCom cases, there has been a growing interest in corruption in the corporate world. A large number of studies having demonstrated that Family Businesses (FB) are the most important forms of organization in the business world, it seemed logical to look at the relationship between FB and corruption. FB being supposed to be concerned by human relationships and to focus on the long term, they should not be concerned by these questions. Nevertheless, the literature underlines that FB could be organizations able to corrupt the political system. Besides, FB could have organizational characteristics that would make it prone to be related to corruption cases.

L’entreprise légale-mafieuse : efficience ou éthique ?

This paper offers an institutional approach to the problems raised by Mafia infiltration of legitimate businesses. It contributes to an economic theory that reconnects economics, law and ethics. It demonstrates that the efficiency criterion alone is not sufficient to correctly analyze the nature and consequences of Mafia infiltration on economies and societies. On the contrary, the reintroduction of ethics enables a better understanding of the phenomenon to the point that law – driven by ethical and not only efficiency considerations – is a necessary tool for those wanting to fight against the destruction of legal economies by Mafiosi.
