Summary/Abstract: Corruption has been present in societies since ancient times. Economic development and the evolution of culture did not result in elimination of corruption. Therefore, you should ask the question: does globalization promote corruption? The article presents a literature review that points to an ambiguous answer to this question. Statistical analysis of selected macroeconomic values are compared to the Corruption Perceptions Index. The results indicated that, for developing countries, increasing economic growth was associated with a decrease in corruption, but it is not eliminated. It must be concluded that there is a level of corruption that is accepted by governments and society.
