Keywords:
corruption, crime, tragedy, politics, trust, cooperation, transparency, accountability.Abstract
This article analyzes global corruption as one of the most serious threats to contemporary political and economic systems. It explores the dual nature of corruption - as an international crime operating through transnational financial networks and as a national tragedy that undermines governance, the rule of law, and public trust. The study examines the causes and consequences of global corruption and its impact on international security, economic stability, and social equality.
The article also highlights effective directions for combating corruption, emphasizing the need to strengthen international cooperation, improve legal mechanisms, and enhance transparency and accountability. The findings indicate that corruption should not be viewed solely as a national issue but as a result of systemic imbalances within the global political order.
