The Research On Corruption Of Provincial And Ministerial Officials Since The Reform And Opening Up

Since the 18 th national congress of the Communist Party of China(CPC),under the strong leadership of the CPC central committee with Comrade Xi Jinping,the fight against corruption has won an overwhelming victory.However,this is not the ultimate triumph and the fight against corruption still faces more challenge.Comprehensively strengthening party self-discipline will be a normal requirement of work in the present and future for a long time.In the new stage,the anti-corruption work has the new plan of "maintaining the high pressure of punishing corruption,effectively reducing the corruption stock,effectively curbing the increase of corruption,deepening the treatment of both symptoms and root causes,and consolidating and developing the overwhelming victory in the fight against corruption".To consolidate the overwhelming victory,we need to grasp the regularity and strengthen the foresight in the fight against corruption.By summing up and reflecting on the governance experience of corruption of provincial and ministerial officials,we can provide important inspiration for improving the supervision system of the party and the state and promoting the reform of discipline inspection and supervision system in a coordinated way.By collecting information of sacked provincial and ministerial officials since the reform and opening up,establishing the database,through the ages,native place,education background,job sector,the arrest of time,regional distribution,the main type of corruption,the amount of money involved,time span,disposition or punishment measures such as describing provincial officials corruption,this paper extracts general characteristics of provincial official corruption and patterns of anti-corruption practices.The general feature of the corruption of provincial and ministerial officials is that compared with ordinary officials,provincial and ministerial officials have more discretion.Bribery is a main way to earn profit.Gang crime is very normal,such as Family corruption.The corruption of provincial and ministerial officials has a long time span,normally accompanied by the phenomenon of "ill promotion".The achievements of anti-corruption work are the result of the continuous improvement of the supervision system of the party and the state and the continuous integration of the working strategy.The key point of anti-corruption is to reduce the "stock".Based on the theory of rational choice institutionalism,this article analyses the roots of the breeding and spreading of corruption among provincial and ministerial officials on the basis of individual and institutional levels and on the basis of close integration with the anti-corruption practices of the party and the state.The emergence of corruption is one of the results of the interaction between individuals and institutions,which has a huge damaging effect on the logic of collective behavior and the restrictive effectiveness of formal institutions.Official corruption is the result of rational choice.The purpose of taking various measures to obtain benefits and avoid risks is to maximize the benefits of personal preference.However,rationality is not a state that individuals can maintain for a long time.It presents many characteristics of limited rationality.From the perspective of the system,the system is an external constraint imposed on the individual,the purpose is to guide the collective behavior preferences to serve social development.Complementing the formal system has a strong explanatory significance for corruption.Finally,in view of the process of the emergence or expansion of corruption of the provincial and ministerial officials,this paper gives suggestions on the prevention measures from individual level and institution level.
