Is corruption an inevitable part of the transition to a free-market
economy? Yan Sun here examines the ways in which market reforms in
the People's Republic of China have shaped corruption since 1978
and how corruption has in turn shaped those reforms. She suggests
that recent corruption is largely a byproduct of post-Mao reforms,
spurred by the economic incentives and structural opportunities in
the emerging marketplace. Sun finds that the steady retreat of the
state has both increased mechanisms for cadre misconduct and
reduced disincentives against it. Chinese disciplinary offices, law
enforcement agencies, and legal professionals compile and publish
annual casebooks of economic crimes. The cases, processed in the
Chinese penal system, represent offenders from party-state agencies
at central and local levels as well as state firms of varying sizes
and types of ownership. Sun uses these casebooks to illuminate the
extent and forms of corruption in the People's Republic of China.
Unintended and informal mechanisms arising from corruption may, she
finds, take on a life of their own and undermine the central
state's ability to implement its developmental policies, discipline
its staff, enforce its regulatory infrastructure, and fundamentally
transform the economy.
