摘      要：This paper is the first to compare China’s current anticorruption approach with those of both post-communist and other Sinic states/*** principal purpose is to compare anti-corruption in China with the situation in countries that constitute appropriate comparators—either systemically(post-communist transition states)or culturally(predominantly Sinic states/regions)—and suggest ways in which China could usefully learn from these comparators.A comparative public policy evaluative approach forms the core of the *** study uses publicly available survey data,both perceptual and experiential,for drawing inferences about the corruption levels in China and the other states analyzed.A neo-Weberian approach to system legitimacy and delegitimation is employed in analyzing the potential dangers of a radical anti-corruption approach,while Giddensian structuration theory is used to emphasize the interplay between structure and agency in *** findings and value of this research are primarily practical,in that it highlights potential lessons China could learn from Singapore and the Hong Kong SAR while also identifying the principal obstacles to the adoption of such *** particular,the establishment of a single and independent anti-corruption agency would almost certainly have a positive impact on the reduction of corruption *** this is politically difficult,since such a body could be perceived as constituting a threat to the Communist ***,all comparisons betweenstates are limited,since some features are unique to a given country.
