Defense system integrity building and corruption risk combating: Experiences of NATO and Partnership for Peace member countries ; Izgradnja integriteta u sistemu odbrane i suzbijanje rizika od korupcije - iskustva NATO i zemalja Partnerstva za mir

Abstract

Corruption is a complex social, political and economic phenomenon, affecting the society on the whole. It undermines democratic institutions, decelerates the economic development, and contributes to the destabilization of the society. All spheres of the society may be affected by corruption, and numerous studies have showed that the defense and security sector is among the sectors which are the most susceptible to corruption. Fight against corruption is a true necessity of any democratic society and it is, at the same time, a prerequisite of reform changes, and building of transparent and accountable institutions. That is why the fight against corruption and the integrity building in the defense sector have found their place within NATO and partner countries. For these reasons, NATO partnership program has been developed, aiming to find optimal models of building the integrity and defense institutions, with reducing the corruption to minimum, and of maintaining or increasing the efficiency and the effectiveness of collective security. ; Korupcija predstavlja složen socijalni, politički i ekonomski fenomen, koji utiče na društvo u celini. Ona podriva demokratske institucije, usporava ekonomski razvoj i doprinosi destabilizaciji društva. Korupcijom mogu biti pogođene sve sfere društva, a brojna istraživanja su pokazala da sektor odbrane i bezbednosti spada među sektore koji su najpodložniji korupciji. Borba protiv korupcije predstavlja stvarnu potrebu svakog demokratskog društva i, ujedno, preduslov je za reformske promene, izgradnju transparentnih i odgovornih institucija. Stoga su borba protiv korupcije i izgradnja integriteta u sektoru odbrane našli svoje mesto u okviru NATO i partnerskih zemalja. Iz tih razloga razvijen je i NATO partnerski program koji ima za cilj da pronađe optimalne modele izgradnje integriteta i odbrambenih institucija uz minimalizaciju korupcije, i očuvanje ili povećanje efikasnosti i efektivnosti kolektivne bezbednosti.
