The Financial Elite and Corruption in Contemporary Serbian Society
My research is focused on the transitional process in Serbia after the political change in October 2000 from the perspective of political corruption. My initial hypothesis is that the transition of corruption occurred in parallel with the transformation of the socio-political and economic structures. I shall argue that the neo-patrimonial pattern of corruption in Serbia developed during the 1990s has been transformed into state capture after the democratic changes. Therefore, my analysis will be focused on the adaptation of the financial elite to the post-2000 economic and political circumstances in order to avoid lustration and capital loss.
