英文摘要 |
China currently still has an authoritarian system in which the branches of government are unable to effectively exert mutual restraints on power. Because the party, government and military systems are controlled by the Communist Party of China, administrative power is not subject to proper checks and balances, allowing corruption to flourish and creating an obstacle to China taking her place as a modern developed country. According to the Corruption Perception Index released by Transparency International, Taiwan has performed better than China since the Agency Against Corruption was established. Although among the Asian Four Little Dragons Taiwan's ranking surpasses only South Korea's, steady improvement reflected in international evaluations shows that anti-corruption efforts in Taiwan have had some success. This article compares the anti-corruption institutions of Taiwan and China, using documental and comparative analysis to examine differences in political systems and historical development. The study aims to reveal the crux of the problem and to raise feasible recommendations for reform. |
