Digital transformation of anti-corruption: a retrospective and development prospects

Abstract

The subject of the study is policy and legal documents that are the basis for determining strategic goals and priorities of socio-economic development and ensuring national security of the Russian Federation in the field of combating corruption. The paper considers the development of the processes of digital transformation of public and municipal administration in the aspect of anti-corruption. The anti-corruption potential of integrating end-to-end technologies into traditional models of interaction between society and the state is investigated, and the prospects for countering corruption manifestations through digitalization of public and municipal governance processes are assessed. The importance of the digital transformation of public administration for ensuring openness and transparency of the activities of authorities is substantiated. Particular attention is paid to the absence of a universally recognized definition of digital transformation both in legislation and in the scientific community due to the novelty and "blurring" of the boundaries of this phenomenon. The methodological basis of the study was made up of general scientific and special methods of cognition, the use of which is determined by the specifics of the topic under study (formal legal, historical legal and comparative legal methods). The conducted research made it possible to consider a retrospective of the process of digital transformation of state and municipal administration in the aspect of state anti-corruption policy, as well as to identify promising areas for further development and implementation of digital technologies in anti-corruption activities at the federal level.
