Jean G. Padioleau : On Corruption in Pluralistic Oligarchies.
This study deals with corruption by the exchange of favors in American political society. Do the conspicuous manifestations of today's corruption indicate the political elite's servitude to moneyed interests ? Or, to risk a paradox, are politicians often masters in the act of corruption ? In order to answer these questions, this article examines the general conditions under which corruption appears and is perceived. Next, the text shows the diversity of the forms of corruption. These analyses let us draw up some propositions whose validity and generality remain to be empirically proven. So the survey suffers from the advantages and disadvantages with a case study ; nevertheless, abstraction has been attempted in order to formulate propositions capable of throwing light on the situation in other advanced industrial societies.
