Legislation as a Cause of Corruption in the Administrative Bodies of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Abstract

The most important goal of this paper is to promote and emphasize the importance of detecting corruption risks in the legislative legislation, as a basis from which various forms of corruption can develop. Also, it is important in the theoretical analysis of the concept of corruption, as well as corruption risks and analysis of the assessment of susceptibility to corruption of draft laws and bylaws. In addition, the aim is to investigate the extent to which the assessment of susceptibility to corruption of laws and bylaws can prevent corruption, especially if we take into account that “ambiguity” in laws and bylaws, and the lack of “control mechanism” in them, the basis that leaves room corruption, ie key corruption risk. A quantitative approach to research was used in the paper. The survey was conducted at the local, cantonal, entity, and state levels on a representative and stratified sample. The research included managers in administrative bodies, professional associates and expert advisors in administrative bodies, as well as lawyers and lawyers employed in public institutions. The contribution also refers to a better understanding of the mechanisms for preventing corruption in administrative bodies through the establishment of a single authority and mechanisms for assessing the susceptibility of corruption to laws and bylaws, and mechanisms for monitoring the implementation of adopted laws and bylaws.
