Résumé
Mon objectif dans cet article est de mieux cerner les contours d’une conception institutionnelle de la corruption. Je tenterai de contribuer à ce programme de recherches sur la corruption institutionnelle d’une double façon. Premièrement, j’essaierai de clarifier le concept de « corruption institutionnelle » en mettant en lumière quatre de ses principales caractéristiques et certains de ses avantages. Deuxièmement, je tenterai d’exposer trois problèmes auxquels sont confrontés ses partisans : les problèmes de la portée, du faux-diagnostic et de l’essentialisme. Malgré la sympathie que j’ai pour cette approche, j’espère montrer qu’elle recèle certains points problématiques. Je tenterai essentiellement de montrer que les « institutionnalistes » risquent de faire de la corruption un concept normativement surchargé.
Abstract
This paper investigates the meaning of an institutional understanding of corruption and aims to provide a better conceptual map of it. I will attempt to achieve two main tasks. First, I will try to shed some light on four features of the concept of institutional corruption and some of its advantages. Second, I argue that such institutional conception of corruption faces three main problems, which I label as the scope, false-diagnosis and essentialist problems. While being sympathetic to the institutional approach, I will try to show how the proponents of it risk using the concept of corruption in a normatively over-inclusive way.
