Abstract
The present study highlights the effects of corruption in the Arab world and of a culture of corruption. It compares types of corruption and their implications for governance. The study analyzes the concept of corruption in the light of literature by various authors. It explains corruption in the Arab states and totalitarian oppression; moreover, it points out the reasons for corruption in these countries and attempts to redefine corruption, such as that of Fawaz Trabulsi. In particular, it emphasizes the case of Kuwait, which typifies the issue of corruption in the Arab states at large. The authors explain the causes of corruption in Kuwait and the role of the Kuwaiti parliament in combatting corruption, with a brief discussion of a survey conducted in Kuwait. As the study concludes, corruption ripples increasingly through political, psychological, moral, and family life, not only leading to financial bankruptcy but also increasing poverty and creating social and mental problems.
