Abstract Anti-corruption efforts in Europe’s post-communist states have been less successful than anticipated. Criticism has been raised against the role of the international community in promoting anti-corruption programmes. Besides, such programmes have been deemed vague and “all-inclusive”. They have largely failed to address local factors “informing” corrupt behaviour in post-communist states, such as (a) negative perceptions of law, and (b) informal practice.‘ I'd be grateful if you could retain the original sentence as it is more precise. Keywords: Anti-corruption; Corruption; Public procurement; Legal culture; Informal practices
Article Outline 1. Introduction 2. Methodology 3. General attitudes towards the law: the public procurement officials’ perspective 4. Public procurement: general perceptions of informal practice 5. Public procurement: personal use of informal practice 6. Conclusions References source url:
