Lo stretto legame tra il crimine di corruzione e inefficienza della pubblica amministrazione in Polonia. Una questione storica ancora irrisolta
The present article aims to provide a comprehensive survey on the delicate issue of corruption in Poland focusing on its diffusion within the public administration.

The paper analyses both the most significant traditional tools and the innovative ones to find out the reasons why corruption still remains a severe concern in Poland despite its comprehensive legislative framework.
