碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 政治學研究所 === 102 === Political Corruption is believed to be a tough proposition all around the world, including the both two sides across Taiwan Straits. Some economists claim that corruption will do no good to economic growth in a country, while some other groups of scholars think the opposite way, calling this phenomenon “The East Asian Paradox.” The purpose of this research is to investigate if the “East Asian Paradox” exists in Taiwan and Mainland China, by means of analyzing the economic trends, the factors of corruption in these two countries. In the last part of the essay, the author tries to decide how corruption has influenced economic growth and how to, efficiently, inhibit political corruption.
