Abstract

We have heard many times that the failure to solve the corruption problem is "due to the lack of political will to fight it" and we have seen many texts produced by anti-corruption institutions that one of the main factors determining the success of efforts to fight corruption is conditional on the will. They know the politics of the countries and consider the necessity of existence to start the fight against corruption before any other option. But so far, this concept has received less attention from researchers in the field of corruption in Iran, and few theoretical efforts and empirical researches have been done in this regard. For this purpose, while reviewing the literature on the subject, this search has tried to deal with the meaning and concept under the discourse of good governance, its relationship with the political issue, its direction, origin and theoretical evaluation of its validity as an emphasized indicator for fighting corruption.
