Wasteful Corruption And Its Governance

As early as the end of the 20th century,some scholars proposed that waste is a kind of corruption that is easy to be ignored.Waste is a corrupt phenomenon that is easily overlooked,has its particular political and historical reasons,what’s more,with the gradual improvement of material living standards,people get used to waste,regard waste as a legal right of their own,and then use it excessively.However,if waste is commonplace among public officials,it can lead to abuse of power,and wasteful corruption is likely to emerge.Although the concept of "wasteful corruption" has not been formally put forward in our country,wasteful corruption has been frequently mentioned in the speeches of national leaders and leaders at all levels.Waste is regarded as a kind of evil in the traditional moral view,and thrift exists as a traditional virtue.From the shameful waste in the moral sense to the wasteful corruption in the legal sense,it means that waste begins to be explored in the field of law,and the close relationship between waste and corruption is also gradually paid attention to.Through the analysis of the multidisciplinary definition of waste,this paper makes a comprehensive understanding of waste from a comprehensive perspective,tries to explore the meaning of waste and its legal significance,so as to lay a foundation for the study of waste corruption in the legal sense.By summarizing the relevant norms of anti-waste corruption,including the"waste crime" in criminal law,the regulation of waste in administrative law,the relevant norms of the party and the newly issued Anti-Food Waste Law of the People’s Republic of China,the current legislative progress and shortcomings of anti-waste corruption are clarified.On this basis,further legal analysis of wasteful corruption.China’s ancient laws have punished officials for their extravagance and waste.China’s political and cultural traditions have their own genes of waste,especially in weddings and funerals.At the same time,the wasteful habits in etiquette and custom inevitably bring about the alienation and corrosion of etiquette and custom.From the perspective of corruption,the deterioration of etiquette and custom destroys the political ecology and distorts the constraint mechanism of formal organizations,thus becoming one of the important reasons for wasteful corruption.The governance of wastful corruption needs to start from "waste" and look for good measures.Combined with the experience of foreign anti-waste legislation,the governance of wasteful corruption should follow the train of thought from morality to law.On the moral level,the country should create the social morality of anti-waste;On the legal level,the country should gradually build a complete system of anti-waste law,establish a private law system to curb personal waste and a public law system to regulate waste.In wasteful corruption,waste and corruption are interrelated and closely combined.The improvement of anti-waste legislation is conducive to the governance of wasteful corruption,and the emergence of wasteful corruption also urges scholars to begin to study "waste" itself,which promotes the reform of anti-waste legislation.Therefore,the legal exploration of wasteful corruption has practical significance and theoretical value.
