👉 Corruption engineering refers to the strategic and systematic manipulation of institutional, legal, and social structures to facilitate and perpetuate corrupt practices. This involves designing policies, regulations, and bureaucratic processes that inadvertently or deliberately create opportunities for unethical behavior, such as bribery, embezzlement, and nepotism. By embedding corruption into the fabric of governance and public administration, corrupt actors can ensure their interests are protected and their influence expanded, often through complex networks of favors, kickbacks, and illicit financial flows. This not only undermines the integrity of institutions but also erodes public trust, hampers economic development, and exacerbates social inequalities.
