这篇文章提出了一个问题的隐含假设民主问责制减少腐败，即公民将揭露机构充斥着腐败和动员更好的政府。相反，动员可能取决于腐败的类型。该研究对需求腐败和贪婪腐败进行了区分，并指出，当需要通过腐败获得“公平”待遇时（需求腐败），公民更有可能参与反腐败斗争，而不是为了获得特殊的非法利益（贪婪腐败）。该研究利用《2013年全球腐败晴雨表》的数据表明，需要腐败动员公民，特别是如果他们认为同胞也会参与，而贪婪腐败导致保密、复员和“搭便车”其他公民反腐败努力的倾向。因此，这项研究有助于更好地了解采取集体行动打击腐败的基本条件，并解释为什么贪婪腐败在具有完善的问责机构的社会中持续存在。
This article calls into question one of the implicit assumptions linking democratic accountability to reduced corruption, namely, that citizens will expose institutions rife with venality and mobilize for better government. Instead, mobilization may be contingent on the type of corruption. The study develops a distinction between need and greed corruption and suggest that citizens are more likely to engage in the fight against corruption when corruption is needed to gain access to “fair” treatment (need corruption) as opposed to special illicit advantages (greed corruption). Using data from the Global Corruption Barometer 2013, the study suggest that need corruption mobilizes citizens, in particular if they perceive that fellow citizens will also engage, while greed corruption leads to secrecy, demobilization, and a propensity to “free ride” on other citizens’ anticorruption efforts. The study thereby contributes to a better understanding of fundamental conditions for collective action against corruption and explaining why greed corruption persists in societies with well-established institutions for accountability.
