사회적 자본과 부패와의 관계에 대한 OECD 국가간 비교연구

A Comparative Study on the Relationship Between Social Capital and Corruption Among OECD Countries - Focused on Bridging Social Capital and Bonding Social Capital-

This study analyzes the relationship between the degree of social capital' accumulation and the level of corruption by classification of social capital' types(bonding social capital, bridging social capital) among OECD countries. As a result of analysis, I find that countries(Norway, Sweden, Finland, New zealand, Australia) which fall under the high level of bridging social capital resident in a generalized trust but the low that of bonding social capital resident in particularized trust, are less corrupt than just the opposite countries(Turkey, Slovakia, Poland, Mexico, Korea). Especially Korea with a strong nepotism culture reveals that the level of bridging social capital is low but that of bonding social capital is high among OECD countries. In addition, the degree of bonding social capital is higher than twice that of bridging social capital in Korea. So to speak, Korea is country with a poor social capital. Therefore, I find that Korea should make an effort to lower bonding social capital but raise bridging social capital in order to be the country of the more integrity.
