Abstract:

Studying the inter-play between social capital and corruption aversion in a context subject to institutional dysfunctions like the Palestinian Territories may help understand mechanisms of governance and institutional legitimacy. By using a unique survey conducted in 2007 in the Palestinian Territories, we find that corruption aversion increases with civic spirits and is lower among individuals involved in voluntary activities. Furthermore, corruption aversion and social capital increase with institutional trust and the importance of the rule of law. These results are integrated within the current debate on the role that identity-based motivations of moral solidarity play in supporting institutional legitimacy.

摘要：

在诸如巴勒斯坦领土这样的体制失调的情况下研究社会资本与反腐败之间的相互作用，可能有助于理解治理和体制合法性的机制。通过使用2007年在巴勒斯坦领土上进行的一项独特调查，我们发现，随着公民精神的发展，反腐败情绪会增加，而参与自愿活动的个人的反腐败情绪会降低。此外，随着机构信任和法治的重要性，反腐败和社会资本也随之增加。这些结果被整合到当前的辩论中，即基于身份的道德团结动机在支持制度合法性方面所起的作用。
