https://doi.org/10.35854/2219-6242-2025-1-124-132
Abstract
The article states that corruption — whether committed by legal entities or individuals, in the public or private sector — is a long-standing phenomenon. The global awareness of its negative consequences, regardless of a country’s stage of development, and the associated societal costs have prompted an active response from states to combatcorruption. The persistent interest in anti-corruption research determines the diversity of corruption manifestations and the sustainable reproduction of corruption practices. This article aims to provide a theoretical examination of anti-corruption mechanisms and tools. The authors define the elements of the administrative mechanism for countering corruption, highlighting two stages (preventive and reactionary), each of which is implemented by means of specific anti-corruption instruments. The work analyses the relationship between the concepts of anti-corruption instruments and administrative and legal measures for countering corruption. Additionally, it explores electronic government as an administrative anti-corruption tool.
