    Phenomenon of Corruption, Its Origin in the Grand Duchy of Finland and the Level in Modern Finland
    (Rīgas Stradiņa universitāte / Rīga Stradiņš University, 2019) Jilkine, Vladimir; Law center, Helsinki, Finland
    Power and corruption have been inseparable since ancient times. The phenomenon of corruption is of particular interest not only for scientists working in the field of social and humanitarian knowledge, but also for politicians, lawyers, philosophers and public figures. Almost all modern researchers consider corruption as a social phenomenon. The problems of corruption are reflected in the works of political scientists, economists, legal scholars, lawyers, philosophers, sociologists, offering a variety of approaches to the study of a multidimensional and debatable phenomenon. The UN views corruption as a complex social, cultural and economic phenomenon affecting all countries, but does not provide a more detailed explanation of the term. The concept of a “corruption offense” does not have a separate definition in Finnish legislation. Scientists and practitioners still have not come to a common opinion on the key issue: how to objectively determine the effective work of the anti-corruption institution and its impact on the corruption situation in the country. According to the author, studying the history, causes and extent of corruption in Finland will allow understanding of its evolution, causes and influence on the state to determine the regulatory framework in the field of anti-corruption legislation in Finland.
