Résumé anglais Corruption : a Question of Morality or a Problem of State Organisation ? As an ethical problem, the practice of corruption nevertheless results, independently of the attitude of individuals, from mechanisms or institutions which allow it to continue, or at least do not rule it out. It is, thus, encouraged in situations where there is a conflict of interest required to be settled by a single individual, where there is too great an integration of pressure groups into the administration, where there is an ill-conceived devolution of power, and in cases of extreme politicisation of the highest strata of executive authority (at either national or local level). Every instance of corruption provides an illustration of the absence of the citizen and of the recipient of public services in an impoverished public debate.
