Abstract

This article explains the role that a modern state should perform, within the framework of possible stimuli for corruption resulting either from the different ways this state operates or because of its size relative to national production. The environment in which relatively underdeveloped economies exist influences suggestions about possible roles for the state. This environment is known as globalization.


      This paper also examines the issue of corruption in Costa Rica, which is no doubt similar to that of other nations in the area. The perception of an increase in corruption could be linked to the absence of appropriate institutions, in an uncompleted process of economic reform. This incomplete process of economic reform has consisted of moving from a model of economic development based on import substitution, to a paradigm characterized by more neutral trade regimes.
