Abstract

What is the corruption? Is it a modern state plague which it should be avoided? Or is it a neccessary engine oil which turns the turbines of a stopped-up bureaucracy? In the most basic denotation, the corruption is abusing of a public power by a public actor for the interest of an individual or a group in return for private interest. The gouvernments are always confronted with difficulties in fighting against corruption. The reason of that is the diversity of perception against corruption society by society. This research aims to compare the models of corruption in Turkish bureaucracy and in French bureucracy. When we consider the direct relation in structring between the traditional Turkish bureaucracy and the French bureaucracy, we can more simply understand the colleteral relation of these two countries in their models of corruption. The most important problem confronted about corruption in Turkey and in France is the unlimited financing of political parties without a legal circumscription. In fighting against corruption, two countries have to exponentially unite their anti-corruption institutions in a single superior administration. This will lead a efficiency advancement in fighting against corruption. It should be borne in mind that, the ethic is not a divine or a holy concept. It’s a public term. If we look to problem from an ideal perspective, we have to obstruct the erosion of ethical values in the democratic systems in the name of effiency and the market.
