The article discusses the political underdevelopment of the country under the larger decree if the
people that is going to be affected by the poor choices of the government. Low levels of dependence of state
can lead to many regions to be more prone to conflicts, having many unearned incomes that is the root from
mineral revenues and many overseas aid. By low political development this can also create and shape every
citizens’ interactions with the wealthier and more powerful countries. In low dependence government it can
have an impact to their country to tax their citizens more and the citizens would have a hard time tackling
poverty and deprivation due to the lack of resources, funding and proper political governance to exert power
and authority in the country.

The minimal reliance of poor-world states on their own citizens, in any of these forms, is only
conceivable due of global political and economic imbalances. Interactions with the wealthier and more
powerful 'core' countries have affected and established poor-world governments it is better to be more focus
less on manipulating impoverished nations' state structures in the name of 'good governance,' and more on
fostering the conditions that would allow the creation of more productive state-society relations.

conflicts, and economic crisis is a useful information in knowing how bad governance can lead to a
country’s downfall. Being the people having the authority to run the country, gives them a huge
responsibility to lead the country to rise, and with the lack of good governance from the government trusted
by the countrymen, a country may fall, which is a very important aspect to look into in depth with studying
how bad governance affects a whole country.

There are many political systems across the world and there are many flaws in the political system
along is the corruption that is currently existing in many countries. If many could think that the presence of
corruption is endemic, public officials, both bureaucrats and elected officials. The sense of corruption it
follows the sense of bribes, payoff and kickbacks and these are one of many reasons on government failure.
There are many definitions that can describe corruption such as having to misuse power and authority for
personal, private and political gains. When it comes to pointing out the magnitude of the problem there are
many situations that can be hold counted for when it comes to this types of topics such as the economic state
of the country or any social political aspect of it.
When it comes to corruption there many possible solutions but each solution is appropriate per
situation some of these are voice and accountability, procurement, revenue raising, regulation of businesses
and providing international efforts. This paper can provide any possible solutions for the issue and misusage
of authority in the country since it delivers many empirical evidences and it does not discuss the theoretical
work on the causes and the consequences of corruption and towards bad governance.

The study states corruption being a path towards bad governance, which consequently leads to
government failure that later on results to conflicts in the country’s political and economic state is a new
point of view to look at how bad governance affects the country. Using corruption as a variable of bad
governance is a good way to assess how it affects the country, for corruption is an act of which government
officials misuses their authority for their personal gain, stealing the people’s taxes that should have been the
country’s money for its economic aspect, and since the money doesn’t go where it’s supposed to go, the
country runs short of budget with financing its economy, which consequently results to a poor economy, and
a poor economy is a poor country.

each other in a vicious cycle. If there are many structured good governances in many countries, there are no
chances that corruption can occur but it is the opposite since there are many countries that lack good
governance there are many people that can make corruption present. It causes violations in the principles
and the transparency, accountability and the rule of law when it comes to the aspects that is mostly

many countries are faced with this type of crisis due to the lack of income, dependence on primary
commodity exports and also poor governance. A study that has been conducted on the Oslo Peace Research
Institute has been projected that the patterns of peace and violence in general despite this issue this also
tackles the development trap of hunger and health trap due to the lack of energy and low income to supply

has been spread through the media is significant challenge to the development and should be the focus of the
distinguishing of the goal such as power, money, positon, goods and services. And through this many
superior people in authority uses (bribery, embezzlement, future employment and so much more. There are
many reports that officials steal form the government and the use of the money and funding is for their own
personal usage. Since there are many reports and even records that the numbers when it comes to the funds
that has been collected through taxes and other public payments that is going to the funds and budget of the
government.
