Abstract

[eng] Jean- François MEDARD — Clientelism and political corruption. The terms « clientelism » and « corruption » deserve to be clarified, both in conceptual terms as well as from the mechanisms of the phenomena which they refer to. Should we oppose political corruption and clientelism ? If we adopt an axiologically neutral attitude, both phenomena imply some form of social legitimacy. Clientelism may be opposed to corruption in terms of commercial exchange, but not to corruption in terms of social exchange. A normative viewpoint is however preferable if we are to do away with these increasingly perverse practices. [fre] Les termes « clientélisme » et « corruption » méritent d'être clarifiés, tant au niveau des concepts que des interactions entre les phénomènes auxquels ils renvoient. Doit-on opposer corruption politique et clientélisme ? Si l'on adopte une position de neutralité axiologique, les deux phénomènes possèdent une forme de légitimation sociale et le clientélisme s'oppose à la corruption — échange marchand, mais pas à la corruption — échange social. Cependant, un point de vue normatif est souhaitable pour mettre fin à des pratiques qui apparaissent de plus en plus comme perverses.
