Abstract
La corrupción es un fenómeno es relevante, prácticamente, para todas las sociedades, en mayor o menor escala. Los actos de corrupción están vinculados a la sobreposición de intereses públicos por los privados con una serie de acciones ilegales concretas que afectan directamente las políticas públicas y la efectividad de la administración pública. A través del índice de correlación de Pearson se constató que la corrupción y el desarrollo humano poseen una fuerte correlación, percibiéndose una tendencia lineal de factores inversamente proporcionales. Pero, esos fenómenos son potenciados por la efectividad o ausencia de accountability, la corrupción,
claramente, se vuelve más fuerte cuando hay una precariedad en el intrumento de accountability, ya que cuando ese instrumento se muestra efectivo
la promoción de la justicia social y la democracia son fortalecidas y, consecuentemente, hay desarrollo humano
Corruption, on a greater or lesser scale, is an important phenomenon for practically all societies. Acts of corruption occur when private individuals place their own interests above those of society in a series of concrete illegal acts which directly affect public policies and the effectiveness of public administration. Using a Pearson correlation index we found that there is a strong correlation between corruption and human development, in a linear trend of inversely proportional factors. However these phenomena are affected by the effectiveness or absence of accountability. Corruption, clearly, becomes stronger when the instrument for accountability is weak, since when this instrument is seen to be effective the promotion of social justice and democracy is strengthened, and consequently there is human development
