The Cause Of And Strategies Against Corruption During The Transformation Of The Economic System

Freedom from corruption is the basic demand on a Party member and the premise for the practice of serving the people whole-heartedly. It has been highly valued by the Communist Party of China (CPC) since long ago, especially during the transformation of the economic system from planned economy to socialist marketing economy. In the course of the transformation some Party members cannot resist the temptation of money and material objects and become corruptible, which badly affects the image of the CPC. Therefore, the CPC has made it a major task to fight against corruption. The Fifteenth Representative Conference of the CPC decided that it is a political fight which will determine the fate of the CPC and the whole nation. President Jiang Zemin stressed, in his July 1 Speech, that the CPC must gain faith from the people with the good result of constructing the CPC honestly and uprightly. In this dissertation, the writer believes that the choice of strategies for the fight against corruption is the key to the victory of the fight, and the strategies must be based on a profound analysis of the corruption. The dissertation begins with the present situation of the corruption during the transformation, followed by an analysis of the causes of the corruption, and finally puts forward the strategies against the corruption.The whole dissertation consists of two parts: the introduction and the main part.
