Clean System Innovative Research

Corruption tends to flourish when institutions are weak and economic policies distort the marketplace. And one of the most fundamental ways is to improve anti-corruption institutions. Although many anti-corruption institutions have been established, corruption in China is still increasing. The reason is that some fundamental institutions have not been established. Besides, because of putting far more expectation on the government officer than ought to and maintaining the idea that it is not proper to establish concrete institutions, the established anti-corruption institutions have been ineffective. Based on the theories of institution analysis, public choice and system analysis, this paper puts a complete research into the anti-corruption institutions. To establish concrete institutions, the hypothesis of rational man should be adopted and the idea that it is not proper to establish concrete institutions should be abandoned. More emphasis should be put on the proper distribution of pubic power and on the protection of the ante-corruption agency's power and rights. And at the same time, a systematic analysis on the construction of anti-corruption institutions should be given, so that a perfect net of anti-corruption institutions could be formed. On this basis, this paper has worked over the institutions that standardize and monitor the usage of public power, the behaviour of government officer and improve the surveillance, pointing out some useful suggestions.
