| Abstract: |
| We introduce an evolutionary dynamical model for corruption in a democratic state, describing
the interactions between citizens, government and officials, where citizens` voting power is the main mechanism to control corruption. Three main scenarios of corruption evolution arise, depending on social, political and economical characteristics of the state and efficiency of the institutions. Efficient institutions can create a corruption intolerant self-reinforcing mechanism. The lack of political choices, weaknesses of institutions and vote buying can create a self-reinforcing mechanism of corruption. The ambition and corruption of the government can be fought by citizen`s voting power creating corruption cycles. |
