Abstract

The present study focuses on China, Germany, India, and Russia—four countries that differ in not only their prevalence of corruption but also their social structures and national cultural values. The levels of corruption in different countries can be compared with international indices. One of the most prominent is the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) compiled by Transparency International (TI) that focuses primarily on corruption in the public and political spheres. In the present four-country comparison, it indicates that Germany has the lowest level of corruption, Russia has the highest, whereas China and India have similar rankings between the other two. All four countries have slightly improved their CPI rankings over the last 6 years.
