Description
The key social and economic problems still go along with social pathology and negative aspects, for which hasn’t been found the efficient cure in the current institutional structure, jet. In this light, there are two most significant problems. First, that’s the problem of inefficient legal state, which is primarily reflected in inefficient judiciary system. Secondly, that’s the problem of corruption, which seems to be spreading as cancer, through out the whole society. In the past period, the NGO sector mostly focused exactly on the second issue. The corruption was often the subject of discussions, analyses but also it was the subject of affirmative action of NGO activists. But, the results missed out. The level of corruption was not reduced. As a result, the scars remained on the institutions which are the subject of critics, as on the NGO sector, itself. The collision is deep and long lasting. It is hard to expect, that unchanged structures in power, will process the internal changes within the institutions. It is equally hard to imagine the sense of NGO functioning without, criticism of institutional praxis.
