Abstract

This paper is looking at theoretical approaches linking norms and values to corruption and then tests these approaches on the data from the ESS and the WB focusing specifically the differences between post-communist countries and the rest of European countries. Author concludes that even 25 years after the fall of the iron curtain the values connected to corruption are still different in post-communist countries.
