Conceptualisation of the phenomenon of corruption: international practices and Ukrainian experience
Journal Title: Economic Annals-XXI - Year 2018, Vol 172, Issue 7
Abstract
On the basis of the analysis of international program documents and modern scientific researches devoted to the actual issues of counteraction to corruption, the problematic aspects in the implementation of the formula «definition - measurement - counteraction to corruption», which are hindering the state anti-corruption policy in many countries of the world, and in particular in Ukraine, are grounded. The authors of the article argue that effective counteraction to corruption, regardless of national context, depends on the coherence of a three-component mechanism which includes the categorical design of corruption, development and taking into account the features of economic development, political history of the country, its institutional «heritage», ethnic and socio-cultural traditions of proper and adequate tools for measuring corruption, and, finally, the formation of an adequate anti-corruption policy. Unlike other similar studies, this article attempts to reveal the underlying causes of the failure of anti-corruption programs which are of theoretically, methodologically and nationally determined character. The authors investigate the problem of combating corruption in its global and general social dimension, and, at the same time, on the example of the Ukrainian experience, which proves the need to develop a sound methodology for studying the level of corruption, taking into account the national specificity.
