公務員貪腐問題是目前國際社會一個矚目犯罪問題之一，公務員位於國家要位，若發生貪腐現象，對國家社會進步將成為嚴重之窒礙。本文主要針對東西方國家貪腐狀況及防治策略進行探討，且特別著重於貪腐類型上進行比較文化之聚焦，並以文獻探討方式，試圖探討以下問題：其一、東西方國家貪腐成因與類型，其二、東西方貪腐防制策略之探討。本研究之結論，主要希冀以比較研究之方式，篩選出東西方國家當中較為值得我國實務借鏡之策略。

Corruption is a critical issue worldwide. Indeed, corruption amongst public servants constitutes a major hindrance to national development. In this paper I examine corruption in both Asian and Western nations, and compare the cultural factors which have a bearing on this phenomenon. Using document analysis, I categorize the most prevalent types of corruption, examine their underlying causes, and discuss the strategies employed for combatting them. In the conclusion I identify which anti-corruption strategies being employed overseas would also be suitable for application in Taiwan.
