Fighting Corruption in Transformation Societies

---

Corruption is the abuse of power. As a symptom of the disparity of rights and opportunities between the powerful and the powerless, corruption is a problem of social justice. n Corruption, cronyism and clientelism are not only individual moral failures, but symptoms of an outdated political operating system producing social disparity. To remove bottlenecks for social and economic development, the political operating system needs to be upgraded to a legal-rational order with merit-based, impersonal institutions and effective rule of law. - Fighting corruption means to hold the powerful accountable. This is why the fight against corruption can neither be neutral nor technical, but must be part of the greater struggle between those who benefit from the status quo, and those who seek democratic change. - This struggle can only be won by the political muscle of a broad societal coalition. Allowing social groups with diverging interests and opposing beliefs to join forces, a common platform is needed which unites the fight against corruption with the struggles for social justice and deeper democratization. In order to do this, the false discursive equation of democracy with corruption needs to be replaced with an anti-corruption narrative firmly rooted in the struggle for deeper democratization. - The common vision, of a “Legal-rational order as the basis for a Good Society with full capabilities for all”, shows the way out of the transformation conflict. Such a social compromise between those who seek a merit-based order and those who struggle for equal opportunities enables the laying of the social foundation for a new social contract.
