the ancient times and it became unsolved global problem, and it would be a necessitate solution that can be implemented on a global scale. Corruption is easily spread and has no regard for geographical or professional boundaries. The impact is so harmful in many ways. However, people pay a great deal of attention to the global issue of corruption. It is impossible to quantify corruption, but it is possible to quantify how people feel about it. Several institutions have created many corruption indices, which have been utilized by numerous researchers. Even though there are things that can be done to reduce corruption, the fight against it cannot be separated from the need to reform the state's functions. This is since certain government actions almost always foster an environment conducive to corruption. Globalization, in all its manifestations, has brought people from countries with low levels of corruption into contact with those from countries where corruption is pervasive. Therefore, globalization has a great role to fight against corruption. In recent years, nongovernmental organizations such as Transparency International have played an increasingly vital role, and in recent years, international financial institutions and organizations have gained increasing significance in the fight against corruption. Yet, it is not enough… In 2019, Transparency International estimates that corruption will cost the developing nations of the world a total of \$1.26 trillion per year; however, the EMEA continues to view corruption as acceptable. Given the significant expansion of the global economy during the twentieth century, this is by no means an insurmountable obstacle. Because these kinds of operations are conducted in private, it is difficult to obtain an accurate estimate of the scale and scope of global corruption.

To sum up, this study provides an overview of the contemporary world and an analysis of the pursuit of global influence. Undoubtedly, public or state enterprises have been a significant source of corruption, particularly political corruption. Today, this problem remains unsolved, but people have become conscious to the impact of it. This gives a hope to create a better world.
