CORRUPTION IN THE CROATIAN ECONOMY

Tema ovog završnog rada je Korupcija u hrvatskom gospodarstvu. Korupcija je sveprisutna, ona ugrožava ljudska prava, smanjuje moral, koči gospodarski rast i razvoj, povećava društvenu nestabilnost, te stvara lošu poslovnu klimu. Njena raširenost dovodi do erozije sustava moralnih normi i gubitka etičkih vrlina društva. Završni rad je podijeljen na tri poglavlja. Prvi dio rada bavi se pojmovnim određenjem korupcije. U drugom poglavlju rada obrađuje se percepcija raširenosti korupcije, te se daje uvid u pokazatelje mjerenja razine korupcije, a treće poglavlje daje pregled utjecaja korupcije na gospodarstvo i ekonomski rast i razvoj te daje pregled zakonodavnog i pravnog okvira te provođenje etičkih standarda i vrijednosti u javnim službama. U radu se dolazi do zaključka da Hrvatska, prema posljednjim statističkim i znanstvenim istraživanjima, ne ostvaruje dobre rezultate u borbi protiv korupcije i da građani nemaju povjerenja u institucije i smatraju da se vlada ne bavi dovoljno rješavanjem problema korupcije i njenih suzbijanjem.The topic of this final work is Corruption in the Croatian Economy.
