When corruption hits the judiciary: A global perspective on access to justice and corruption

acceso a la justicia, corrupción, visión global, política anticorrupciónResumen
Este estudio se pregunta si el nivel de corrupción de un país está relacionado con la percepción del acceso a la justicia. Desde el punto de vista de la oferta de acceso a la justicia, un sistema judicial corrupto implicará que los menos pudientes no pueden permitirse asegurar sus derechos. Sin embargo, ¿la corrupción amplía la brecha de la justicia? Los estudios muestran que la corrupción se relaciona con la democracia, la riqueza y la igualdad, pero el vínculo entre la corrupción y el poder judicial está menos estudiado. Este estudio explora estadísticamente el panorama global general con el uso de datos de 113 países. Utilizando la regresión múltiple, corrobora las conclusiones establecidas sobre la desigualdad y la igualdad de acceso a la justicia, pero contribuye de manera crítica a este campo al encontrar que la corrupción tiene una relación independiente y fuerte con el acceso a la justicia. Este hallazgo sugiere que tanto las políticas anticorrupción como las de igualdad pueden mejorar el acceso a la justicia.
