Abstract

The aim of the study is to analyse the phenomenon of corruption in France that remains one of the most modern pathologies associated with the globalization process in the economy. Its development is currently determined by huge growth of international transactions. Corruption affects individuals acting on behalf of any organisation that may make beneficial economic decisions in exchange for obtaining material or personal benefits, or the promise of receiving them for making a particular decision. It is therefore always a violation of the performance of duties falling within the scope of one’s work. One of the most dangerous dimensions of corruption is currently known as great corruption, which relates to economic and political elites. This article will present organisations, whose objective is to combat corruption in France (Central Service for the Prevention of Corruption—SCPC) and the estimated scale of corruption, which is constantly increasing. According to statistical data, there are 150–200 cases of convictions due to corruption recorded each year, but the real figure for this pathology is much higher, indicating clearly insufficient tightness of the law on economic regulations in this area.
