Abstract
Korruption—misbrug af betroet magt til personlig gevinst—har været udbredt verden over og ser i dag ud til at brede sig i alarmerende tempo. Dette speciale fremhæver den voksende bekymring blandt verdensledere, religiøse ledere og civilsamfundet for, hvordan korruption undergraver offentlig tillid og bremser fremskridt. Specialet hævder, at korruption er den primære hindring for økonomisk udvikling og fælles velstand. For at beskytte og forbedre levevilkår for både nuværende og kommende generationer efterlyser specialet langsigtede, koordinerede tilgange til at forebygge og bekæmpe korruption, med fokus på varige løsninger frem for kortsigtede tiltag.
Corruption—the abuse of entrusted power for private gain—has persisted around the world and appears to be spreading at an alarming rate today. This thesis highlights growing concern among world leaders, religious leaders, and civil society about how corruption undermines public trust and blocks progress. It argues that corruption is the primary obstacle to economic development and shared prosperity. To protect and improve living standards for current and future generations, the thesis calls for long-term, coordinated approaches to prevent and combat corrupt practices, emphasizing durable solutions over short-term fixes.
