CORRUPTION RELATIONSHIP AS A LATENT RESOURCE FOR PARTICIPANTS IN SOCIAL CONFLICTS

Abstract

The article analyzes various resources of participants in the social conflict. In particular, as a fairly important resource in the conflict, it is recognized that the parties have certain corrupt ties with other influential subjects of society. Corruption in the work is considered as a negative complex phenomenon in society. The correlation between the concepts of «corruption», «corruption relations» and the concepts of «social conflict» and «resources of the conflict participants» is analyzed. Various approaches to understanding the concept of «corruption» are considered, and the author's definition of the concept of «corruption relations of a conflict participant» is proposed. Special attention is paid to the use of actions by the parties to the conflict based on their corruption ties. A number of negative consequences of this phenomenon in the Russian society are shown and effective mechanisms for combating corruption are proposed. The author's reasoned judgments on the issues under consideration are given.
