Corrupção no Brasil e a respectiva tolerância: uma contraposição entre prática social e normas morais

Abstract

This research is based on a survey of bibliographies on the causes, effects and fight against corruption, applied to the Brazilian context. To this end, a theoretical framework is constructed presenting the concept of corruption, forms of manifestation and international standards created to curb its occurrence. Throughout the study, it becomes clear that this phenomenon has a significant impact on societies, harming economic and social development and perpetuating inequalities. Subsequently, we began to discuss the chapters that were logically defined in “The place of Corruption in Brazil” and “The tolerance of Corruption in Brazil”. Furthermore, we will seek to identify the main national legal instruments to combat the practice of acts harmful in the public administration, supported by international cooperation, in addition to presenting the Brazilian institutions that work directly on the fight against corruption.
