Privatization has increased political corruption in the former Soviet Union and the former communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The degree of corruption in those countries, however, is probably less than would have occurred without privatization. Certain privatization techniques, such as the liquidation of assets and mass privatization based on vouchers, seem to limit corruption, while others, such as management-employee buyouts and spontaneous privatization, apparently foster it. These economies all require further privatization. Speedy, comprehensive methods will probably prove less corrupt.
