MODERN APPROACHES TO THE CLASSIFICATION OF SUBJECTS ANTI-CORRUPTION IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The relevance of the article is that an important task facing the state is to protect the rights and interests of citizens, including those who have been violated as a result of corruption. Research on the types of anti-corruption actors will provide an opportunity to find out which of them interact most with citizens to improve their service component. That is, clarifying the content of the administrative and legal status of each of the subjects will increase their quality of cooperation with the public, and thus the level of public confidence in the subjects of anti-corruption and increase the number of appeals for protection. It is worth noting that the fight against corruption suffers significantly from its influence outside of legal factors, such as economic or political. This situation can affect the quality of work and motivation of anti-corruption officials. The article classifies the subjects of anti-corruption depending on their role in combating corruption. Groups of entities specifically authorized to combat corruption, entities that promote anti-corruption activities, and entities that voluntarily participate in the fight against corruption have been studied. The legal status of anti-corruption entities that belong to each group is analyzed. It is concluded that a comprehensive analysis of the types of anti-corruption actors has led to the conclusion that anti-corruption activities are carried out at the general, regional and local levels. This helps to shape the general anti-corruption policy and to combat corruption on the ground, given the specific reasons for its spread. At the same time, the study shows a low level of interaction between anti-corruption actors, which reduces its effectiveness and at the same time increases the duration of achieving the goal of overcoming or reducing the level of corruption. This situation is caused by the fact of actual duplication of powers of anti-corruption actors, especially in the formation of anti-corruption policy and investigations, as well as the lack of incentives from the state to act together.
