Corruption is one of the most pressing and systemic issues of the 21st century,
significantly hindering sustainable socio-economic development across
nations. It undermines trust in authorities and legal institutions, which in

Corruption is one of the most pressing and systemic issues of the 21st century,
significantly hindering sustainable socio-economic development across
nations. It undermines trust in authorities and legal institutions, which in
turn diminishes investment activities, restricts entrepreneurial growth, and
exacerbates social inequality. Kazakhstan, as a country actively working to
modernize public administration in the Central Asian region, provides a unique
context for analyzing these issues. Thus, studying corruption in Kazakhstan
– within the framework of imperfect institutions, limited access to quality
infrastructure, and uneven regional development – holds both scientific
significance and practical relevance. The republic faces an urgent challenge: to
develop new anti-corruption policy strategies grounded in a comprehensive
understanding of the factors influencing corruption risks. This research
aims to systematically analyze the impact of corruption on institutional and
infrastructural development, utilizing contemporary theoretical concepts,
empirical data, and case studies from Kazakhstan. (Less)
