Institucionální zakotvení protikorupční politiky: mezinárodní srovnání protikorupčních agentur a situace v České republice

The subject of the thesis is the institutional framework of anti-corruption policy, in particular its anchorage in the form of specialized anti-corruption bodies, referred to as anti-corruption agencies. The aim is to address three main research questions: What specialized anti-corruption bodies exist in the world? How do specialized anti-corruption bodies operate in individual countries? What anti-corruption bodies do exist currently in the Czech Republic and what recommendations can be drawn from the foreign institutional arrangements? To answer them, the current state of research, recommendations and standards for the design and operation of specialized anti-corruption bodies is analysed first. The comparison of anti-corruption agencies in Lithuania, Latvia and Slovenia follows. On this basis, the current situation in the Czech Republic is assessed and recommendations are made. Partial aim of the thesis is to present international discussions and documents, the current state of reseach on this topic in the Czech language, as a comprehensive professional processing of this field is still missing.
