Abstract
Anti-corruption strategies should address social harms caused by corruption and encourage
citizens' cooperation, in terms of collective efficacy. High perception of corruption leads to its
normalization, to tolerance and deteriorating of social ties. Exposing social consequences of
corruption, specifically negative repercussions on individual and collective rights, can contribute to denormalising
corruption and foster collective action. After examining the linkage between perception
and normalisation of corruption and the possible impact of collective action on de-normalisation, some
lines of action are proposed aimed at strengthening social ties which allow for regeneration of social
trust and for citizen participation in the fight against corruption.
