早期斯圖亞特英國(guó)貴族官員腐敗原因初探
發(fā)布時(shí)間:2018-08-24 07:48
【摘要】:斯圖亞特早期是英國(guó)歷史上社會(huì)腐敗現(xiàn)象較為突出的時(shí)期,而腐敗現(xiàn)象又主要體現(xiàn)在社會(huì)政治領(lǐng)域、經(jīng)濟(jì)領(lǐng)域和海軍的經(jīng)營(yíng)過(guò)程中。 在社會(huì)政治領(lǐng)域中,上層貴族和官員擁有對(duì)官職和爵位的提名權(quán),從而導(dǎo)致了上層貴族和官員因增設(shè)爵位、任命官員而收受賄賂、結(jié)黨營(yíng)私等腐敗行為;中下層官員在征收中央和地方的稅費(fèi)的過(guò)程中的挪用、貪污行為,地方司法過(guò)程中的亂收費(fèi)和司法不公的行為等,在這一方面,尤以當(dāng)時(shí)英國(guó)地方政府最有影響的治安法官為甚。 在經(jīng)濟(jì)領(lǐng)域,王室政府大量地出售包稅權(quán)以及專利和專營(yíng)壟斷權(quán),其中最為關(guān)鍵的是這些權(quán)力大都是由大貴族和高級(jí)官員所控制,通過(guò)拍賣(mài)、招標(biāo)、出售和轉(zhuǎn)讓等方式,最終到達(dá)相應(yīng)的經(jīng)營(yíng)實(shí)體的手中。在這一過(guò)程中,出現(xiàn)了大貴族和高級(jí)官員或直接轉(zhuǎn)賣(mài),或受賄和變相受賄,或敲詐勒索等腐敗行徑。 在經(jīng)營(yíng)海軍的過(guò)程中,腐敗現(xiàn)象極為普遍。海軍大臣及下屬官員可以說(shuō)是肆無(wú)忌憚,其行為表現(xiàn)為以下各方面:軍備物質(zhì)的采買(mǎi)過(guò)程中的收受回扣或在自己或親屬的公司中采買(mǎi)并以次充好;虛報(bào)官兵數(shù)目及日常開(kāi)支;私分戰(zhàn)利品;勾結(jié)、保護(hù)走私;收取航線保護(hù)費(fèi)等。 本文的重點(diǎn)是探討早期斯圖亞特王朝貴族官員腐敗的原因,從五個(gè)方面予以闡述: 一 發(fā)展的不平衡和沖突的加劇 早期近代英國(guó)社會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)型時(shí)期,特別是從都鐸晚期到斯圖亞特早期,其社會(huì)發(fā)展變化顯著,筆者認(rèn)為,其變化的基本特點(diǎn)是:發(fā)展的不平衡和沖突的加劇。 政治上,自都鐸王朝起,英國(guó)的政治活動(dòng)主要以王權(quán)和議會(huì)為中心,一方面,王權(quán)一再擴(kuò)充,另一方面,議會(huì)兩院尤其是下院也在不斷地爭(zhēng)取自身的權(quán)利。王權(quán)和議會(huì)權(quán)力的雙向發(fā)展,必然引起雙方的沖突,使得英國(guó)這一時(shí)期的政治斗爭(zhēng)始終圍繞著王權(quán)和議會(huì)而進(jìn)行。到早期斯圖亞特,拋開(kāi)議會(huì)實(shí)行個(gè)人統(tǒng)治的行為突破了由都鐸王朝的君主們和議會(huì)共同逐漸創(chuàng)立的政治框架,加上從亨利八世起開(kāi)始建立的以國(guó)王個(gè)人為中心的行政機(jī)構(gòu)的擴(kuò)展,使得由議會(huì)和國(guó)王相互制約的英國(guó)政治權(quán)力的重心向王權(quán)傾斜,由此,都鐸初期起開(kāi)始建立的個(gè)人庇護(hù)制成為了這一時(shí)期行政制度的主體,并產(chǎn)生了嚴(yán)重的后果。 經(jīng)濟(jì)方面。物價(jià)的上揚(yáng)、城市的興起、商品經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展為這一時(shí)期顯著的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展特點(diǎn),但是,由于王室傳統(tǒng)的財(cái)政收入不能滿足因物價(jià)上漲、戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和行政支出的增加所引起的巨額的財(cái)政支出,因此,王室掠取非傳統(tǒng)的財(cái)政資源來(lái)彌補(bǔ)財(cái)政的不足成為必然。王室隨意獲取、侵占公共領(lǐng)域財(cái)富的政策和行為無(wú)疑與當(dāng)時(shí)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的要求不相適應(yīng)。盡管,近代政府需要公共財(cái)政的支撐,由于早期斯

In this process, corrupt practices such as direct resale, bribery and disguised bribery, or extortion have occurred. In the course of running the navy, corruption was widespread.
