Abstract

Corruption is a persistent problem that plagues the world. It knows no borders. It is a problem facing post-communist countries as they transition to democracies and market economies, as well as established democracies and other regimes. While the causes of corruption are varied, the tools often suggested to combat corruption include expanded use of whistleblowing in terms of incentives to encourage it and laws to protect whistleblowers. This article examines the role of whistleblowing as a tool to combat corruption. It describes the law and role of whistleblowing in a comparative context, focusing on the United States, the European Union, and Armenia. The article then concludes with recommendations regarding how whistleblowing could be strengthened, especially in Armenia, as an example of a post-communist state, to be an effective tool for addressing corruption.

《打击腐败:美国、欧洲和亚美尼亚举报法律的发展》
腐败是一个长期困扰世界的问题。它没有国界。这是后共产主义国家在向民主和市场经济过渡的过程中所面临的问题,也是老牌民主国家和其他政权所面临的问题。虽然腐败的原因各不相同,但通常建议的打击腐败的手段包括在鼓励举报人的激励措施和保护举报人的法律方面扩大使用举报人。这篇文章探讨了举报作为一种打击腐败的工具所起的作用。它在比较的背景下描述了举报的法律和作用,重点是美国、欧盟和亚美尼亚。文章最后就如何加强举报提出建议,特别是在亚美尼亚,作为后共产主义国家的一个例子,这是解决腐败问题的有效工具。
