?:abstract
  • Political corruption has been known for its damaging effects on countries’ economic growth, ability to attract investment, and citizen trust in democratic institutions. These negative impacts are even more devastating in countries transitioning from a totalitarian system to democracy. When governments are dishonest, ordinary people may easily loose faith in the new system as well suited to respond to their needs. While extant research relates corruption to public disengagement with politics, less has been done to study the resistance capacity of societies toward the harmful impact of malfeasance. In this paper I explore the probability of a mobilization effect of corruption in Eastern European new democracies. In particular, I assess the extent to which perceptions of widespread corruption among the ruling elite (1) encourage voting for opposition parties, and (2) motivate citizens to protest against the misuse of public office. For the analysis, I use multivariate regression techniques and survey data from post-Communist countries, gathered through the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems project and the World Values Survey.
