THE EFFECTS OF CLAN STRUCTURES ON THE FUNCTIONING OF POST-COMMUNIST ADMINISTRATION AND JUSTICE
Keywords:
Administration, clan, corruption, justice, transition.Abstract
Post-communism is a historical age and a social phenomenon of an utmost complexity within which there take place various processes which re-compose institutions but also change the informal networks of power and modify the patterns of the collective mindset. In this context, clan structures appear to be socializing agents (with an identitarian and redistributive function relative to economic resources), which replace official and legitimate institutions and generate social pathologies such as normative depression. The greatest danger to young democracies is represented by the situation in which clan-based organizations become parasites of governmental and legal institutions because in such a context they would not only interfere with the correct functioning of the state but they would also produce a feeling of injustice and mistrust in the social imagery.References
