WARREN, Mark E.. La democracia contra la corrupción. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2005, vol.47, n.193, pp.109-141. ISSN 0185-1918.

In this article the author, Mark E. Warren, explains that the way to defeat corruption is through democracy. Taking into account that the civil society is the means to avoid corruption, the author analyses its participation, as well as the one from the government and the associations in the creation of a democracy that will defeat the "misbehavior of politics", as corruption is known. Warren demonstrates that there is a link between the democratic forms to organize the institutions and the exercise of politics that lead to the end of corruption.
