    La corrupción es uno de los principales problemas que enfrentan Gobiernos y sociedades de todo el mundo, cuyo estudio ha despertado un significativo interés académico en los últimos años, siendo abordado desde diversas perspectivas. En este artículo se analiza la relación entre corrupción y privatización, a partir de una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica en la última década. Se pretende dar respuesta a los interrogantes: ¿cuál es el estado del arte en términos de la correlación entre privatización y corrupción? y ¿cuál es la brecha existente en ese campo de estudio? Para ello, se llevó a cabo una investigación bibliométrica sobre el tema en el periodo de 2008 a abril de 2019. Se identificaron 318 artículos, de los cuales 98 fueron analizados por no repetirse en las bases de datos y estar alineados a los propósitos del presente estudio. Los resultados empíricos de los artículos analizados revelan que la privatización es afectada por la corrupción y puede generar más prácticas de corrupción en un ambiente donde el nivel de corrupción es alto. Este estudio ha permitido identificar una brecha relevante respecto al análisis de los efectos de la corrupción, verificándose diferentes resultados en los artículos abordados según el sector en el que se llevó a cabo la investigación. Por lo tanto, se sugiere realizar estudios teniendo en cuenta el sector afectado por la privatización y el método de privatización, así como algunos factores contextuales, como la calidad de la aplicación de la ley y la protección al inversor.

    Corruption is one of the main problems faced by governments and societies around the world, whose study has aroused significant academic interest in recent years and has been approached from various perspectives. This article analyzes the relationship between corruption and privatization, based on a systematic review of the scientific literature in the last decade. This paper intends to answer the questions: what is the state of the art in terms of the correlation between privatization and corruption? And what are the existing gaps in this field of study? For this, a bibliometric investigation on the subject was carried out in the period between 2008 and April 2019. Three hundred and eighteen articles were identified, of which 98 were analyzed because they were not repeated in the databases and were aligned with the purposes of the present study. The empirical results of the articles analyzed reveal that privatization is affected by corruption and it can generate more corruption practices in an environment where the level of corruption is high. This study has allowed us to identify a relevant gap regarding the analysis of the effects of corruption, verifying different results in the articles addressed according to the sector in which the investigation was carried out. Therefore, it is suggested to conduct studies taking into account the sector affected by privatization and the privatization method, as well as some contextual factors such as the quality of law enforcement and investor protection.
