How Does Concentrated Power in Dictatorships Foster Corruption?

Furthermore, the lack of democratic accountability means that leaders can often act with impunity. In a dictatorship, leaders are not beholden to the electorate, which diminishes the incentive to maintain ethical standards. When leaders are insulated from the consequences of their actions, they may engage in corrupt practices without fear of repercussions. This creates an environment where corruption is not only tolerated but can become a standard operating procedure for those in power.
