Vol. 2 No. Issue: 7, September, 2025, Pg,1596-1613 (2025): The causes and consequences of political corruption

Abstract
The background of the research evaluates the concepts, types, causal factors, and impact of
political corruption. The main objective of this research topic is to understand the reasons and
influence of political corruption. Based on this objective, the study explored a new anticorruption framework to mitigate the socioeconomic challenges through political corruption with
the help of a secondary qualitative and exploratory study technique. This study maintained
academic integrity, proofreading, and proper referencing style to ensure research ethics. Through
the thematic interpretations, the findings of the present research study highlighted that political
corruption is one of the significant global issues in recent years. According to the CPI, the study
outlined the most corrupt and least corrupt countries across the world. The political corruption
had a direct influence on creating obstacles for the socio-economic prospects of the countries.
Henceforth, this study explored new ideas for evaluating the multidimensional framework
integrated into the anti-corruption approaches to minimise the adverse impact of political
corruption in these countries.
