Abstract
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that the civic republican approach to corruption helps us understand the complexity of the problem of corruption during the process of post-communist democratization. Such an approach brings to the fore the correlation between the institutional and the social dimensions of corruption, and offers a broader perspective on understanding both sources and consequences of corruptive activities and corrupt manners than the dominant liberal, political-economic approach. The paper discusses the differences between these two approaches to corruption, as well as between the republican approach and the literature on social trust, while engaging with a theoretical analysis of corruption in former communist countries.
