State Anti-corruption Policy Research Articles

Problems and further development of functioning of specialized anti-corruption agencies

The article focuses on the problem of the institutional support for combating corruption. The scatter and dispersion in the anti-corruption functions among the law enforcement agencies are considered to be a significant component of the problem of the institutional support for combating corruption. The functioning of some specialized anti-corruption agencies is also analyzed in the article. Priority areas for improvement of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office and National Anti-Corruption Burea of Ukraine are singled out. It is justified that the functioning of The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office is a special law enforcement activity to combat corruption in public authorities and local self-government. It is concluded that due to the possibility of ambiguous insight into the system of agencies implementing measures on preventing and combating corruption, the legislation should clearly define this notion in a single legal act with a clear division of responsibilities and forms of interaction, as well. Furthermore, the authors of the article develop proposals on ways to combat corruption in Ukraine, including legislative, and organizational and managerial ideas concerning the implementation of the experience in preventing and combating corruption following the example of foreign countries. In particular, the main priorities of the state anti-corruption policy in Ukraine should be defined in a special regulation – the Anti-Corruption Strategy. The previous Anti-Corruption Strategy and the State Program for its implementation expired in December 2017, so Ukraine should have started the year 2018 with new versions of these documents. For more than two years, Ukraine has not had a major strategic document in the field of corruption prevention. The draft Law on Anti-Corruption Strategy for 2018–2020 was withdrawn on August 29, 2019.

Institutional Basis of Anti-Corruption Policy in Russia: Retrospect and Modern View

Today corruption takes on a distinct interstate and interethnic character, threatens the security and stability of an individual state, undermines the credibility of its public institutions and significantly reduces the country’s prestige in the eyes of the world community. Thus, the search for the most effective anti-corruption models, an understanding of its institutional nature and the logic of fundamental changes play a paramount role in the study of issues conducted by public authorities on anti-corruption policies at the domestic level. The organization of interaction between the hierarchical and horizontal anti-corruption systems of law enforcement in the context of institutional frameworks is also important since the parameters of such interaction and the main directions of anti-corruption activity as a whole are determined by the system of state legislation aimed at combating corruption, which determines the relevance of its study from these positions. This article discusses historic legal documents and new normative legal acts that form the basis of the institutional nature of the state anti-corruption policy in Russia. A retrospective analysis of the legislative framework in the field under study is carried out, and promising directions for its improvement are determined. The need to clarify certain aspects in the context of the development of anti-corruption legislation in the Russian Federation is emphasized. Of course, the proposed format and directions of changes require detailed scientific progress, which suggests the prospects for further research.

Еволюція інституту запобігання та врегулювання конфлікту інтересів у системі публічної служби

Problem setting. Nowadays, one of the key branches of state anticorruption policy is the formation of the institute of overcoming and settlement of the of in the system of public service, which is one of the ways of preventing corruption in public administration. Solving this issue requires research on the preconditions and the main stages of its historical development. This creates a methodological basis for further understanding of this particular phenomenon and solving the problems that appear at the modern stage of its formation and development.Recent research and publications analysis. Theoretical and practical aspects of overcoming and settlement of the of in the system of public service has been conducted practically in every work dedicated to the issue of overcoming corruption. Among them are the works of O. Bondarchuk, O. Busol, P. Volianskyj, V. Gvozdetskyj, D. Gudkov, T. Ilnytskyj, I. Didenko, O. Klok, U. Lavrenuk, I. Lopushynskyj, V. Manzuk, S. Rivchachenko, T. Habarova, O. Shemiakin, A. Jafonkin, I. Jatskiv and many others. However, in the majority of them This causes the need in further retrospective analysis that might be useful for searching the other ways of further improvement of this institute at the modern stage.The paper objective. According to the requirement of historical comparative analysis of the institute of overcoming and settlement of the of in the system of public service three main point must be characterized: 1) the preconditions and time frames of the certain event; 2) the main stages of formation and development; 3) the meaning of the analyzed event in the conditions of modern Ukraine.The paper main body. The actual legislation of the Ukrainian SSR generally contained certain organizational and legal mechanisms aimed at preventing and regulating the of in the system of the Soviet public service, although the term conflict of interests was not used.The salient features of the Soviet stage of the formation and development of the institute for overcoming and settlement of the of in the Soviet public service system are: absence of a special law on public service, absence of special state bodies in the field of overcoming and settlement of of in the public service system.With the declaration of independence of Ukraine in 1991, a new stage of development of the institute of overcoming and settlement of of in the public service system began.The specific features of the current stage of formation and development of the institute of overcoming and settlement of of can include: introduction the concept of potential and real of and identifying a range of the subjects to requirements of overcoming and settlement of the of interests; installation of special restrictions at the legislative level aimed at preventing the of interest; definition the responsibilities of the relevant categories of persons empowered to perform the functions of state or local government concerning overcoming and settlement of the of interests; definition of finance control measures; definition a system of specially authorized entities in the field of overcoming and settlement of conflicts of in the public service system, among which is the National Agency on Corruption Prevention.Conclusions of the research. Organizational and legal mechanisms for the overcoming and settlement of conflicts of in the public service system were introduced and existed long before the adoption of special anti-corruption laws of Ukraine, which defined the concepts and methods of controlling the of in public service. The main stages of the formation and development of an institute for the overcoming and settlement of of interests: the first stage is the Soviet stage (1922–1991 years.), the second stage – times of the independent Ukraine (1991 year – nowadays). At the same time, the process of formation and development an institute for the overcoming and settlement of conflicts of in the field of public service of independent Ukraine, in turn, also had its stages. In particular, on the basis of the presence (or absence) of a legal definition of the concept of conflict of interest in the relevant laws, there are two main stages: the first - before the introduction of the concept of conflict of interests at the legislative level (August 1991 – June 2009); the second - after the introduction of the concept of conflict of interests at the legislative level (June 2009 - to date).Chronological analysis of anti-corruption legislation in independent Ukraine allows to distinguish such stages of formation and development an institute for the overcoming and settlement of of in public service: 1). August 1991 – October 1995 рр.; 2). October 1995 – June 2009; 3) третій етап: June 2009 – December 2010 р.; 4). April 2011 – October 2014; 5). October 2014 – to date.

On the Issue of the Administration and Legal Foundation of the State Anti-Corruption Policy in Ukraine

Systemic Policy as a Factor in the Formation of an Anti-Corruption Climate in Modern Russian Society

Introduction . Based on the systemic sociological methodology, the paper discusses the content of the anti-corruption policy in modern Russian society as a systemic education. Despite the complex nature of the measures taken by the authorities to combat corruption, the latter is perceived by public opinion as high. As a result, this antisocial phenomenon, according to Russians, has been included in the rating of the five most acute problems in our country in recent years. Methodology and sources . Opinion polls, including the authors' own studies, show a systematic damage by corruption in a number of important areas of public life, including law enforcement agencies, government bodies, the medical sector, etc. In the context of the social determinants of corruption examined in this work, an attempt is made to identify key institutional factors of the state anti-corruption policy on the formation of an anti-corruption climate in the context of modern transformations. Results and discussion . It is noted that in modern Russia it is necessary to form an anticorruption climate with the active use of both Soviet and foreign experience. The study and transfer of modern Chinese experience to our soil deserves special attention. At the same time, the conclusion that the key role in the formation of the anti-corruption climate is played by the approval of the anti-corruption legal climate relevant to the Russian conditions, which provides for the organization of the implementation of the entire set of positive law norms by social entities and legal institutions, including such components of the legal regulation mechanism as legally significant activity and other law enforcement practices. Conclusion. All this in unity should create real opportunities and conditions that ensure the reproduction and improvement of the anti-corruption climate at all levels of the power hierarchy and spheres of society, including business, as well as the formation of anticorruption behavior of state and municipal employees, the popularization of anticorruption standards of behavior in society and development of the corresponding legal consciousness and legal culture.

Національне агентство з питань запобігання корупції: адміністративно-правовий статус

The Constitution of Ukraine establishes the principle of separation of powers into legislative, executive and judicial, and consolidates the respective areas of state management activity by executive authorities. One of the areas of activity of executive bodies in our country is the fight against corruption. Creation of specialized anti-corruption bodies was the key institutional elements of the comprehensive reform of the domestic corruption prevention system in accordance with international standards and the order of application of preventive anti-corruption mechanisms. They are the executive authorities. At the present stage of development of Ukraine as a democratic, law-governed state, the investigation of bodies designed to ensure the formation and implementation of state anti-corruption policy, as well as to prevent, detect, discontinue, investigate and prosecute corruption offenses, becomes of paramount importance. Unlike special and law enforcement agencies that detect and investigate corruption violations, the main function of the National Agency, as a central executive body with a special status, is to prevent their commission. The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities and the most complete disclosure of the administrative and legal status of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption. Describing the administrative and legal status of the National Agency, it should be noted that the activities of this body is due to its social purpose and the special organizational and legal position in the system of executive power, whose subjective rights and duties are enshrined in the norms of administrative law. As a result of our analysis of the theoretical advances of law-legal scientists, it can be concluded that the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption has the defining legal features that distinguish this authority from other executive bodies; has a certain competence which differs from the competence of other state bodies; special order of formation of the warehouse; limited term of occupation of a member of the National Agency; has a certain structure and hierarchical subordination; ways of making power decisions; has specific methods of work. Under the «administrative and legal status of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption», it should be understood as the set of powers provided for by the norms of administrative law for fulfilling the state tasks assigned to it in the field of prevention of corruption in Ukrain.

Background for the formation and predictors for the implementation of state anti-corruption policy in Ukraine

Corruption in the public administration of Ukraine, which is a socio-economic phenomenon, is investigated as a plurality of actions of public service officials, which is arising in the process of realization of their authorities and building relationships and connecting with abuse of political or public authority for the sake of personal gain. An analysis of the preconditions for formation and theoretical substantiation of the predictors of the state anti-corruption policy implementation is conducted. Corruption is manifested through such institutional deformations as institutional constraints, legal burdens, distortions of moral and ethical standards of officials, and tolerance of corruption by society.The main preconditions for the formation of anticorruption policy are as follows: the set of external and internal factors of the mechanisms of public and managerial activity, which is burdened by the historical legacy of the administrative-command system of the Soviet era; formation of the outlook of a civil servant, in which the common purpose of occupying a post is a phenomenon like sinecure; a feature of professional state-management activity, which is determined by the state-power authorities of individuals, which are the exclusive privilege and responsibility of officials; the existence of legal preferences that imply inequality of citizens in the access to socially useful benefits that distort understanding of the legal equality of citizens and are the basis of corruption; the presence of effective foreign experience in the implementation of anticorruption policy, based on the cooperation of government institutions with the private sector and the public, is long-term and complex.The main predictors that will become qualitative and quantitative benchmarks for changing the trend in the implementation of anti-corruption policies are reducing the proportion of actions committed to attract corruption leverage, reducing the share of the shadow economy, raising the index of perceived corruption in Ukraine for five years at least to an average of 60-65, the creation of prerequisites for absolute rejection of corruption, complete lack of tolerance to any, even minimal, manifestations of corruption.

Impact of corruption activity on state economic policy

The article examines the direct impact of corruption on the state economic policy. It is established that corruption constrains the formation of close political and economic ties, which are important for the progressive development of market relations. For this aim, the authors analyze the historical preconditions of corruption establishment and development in Ukraine and around the world. The paper studies the definition of both corruption and corruption activity concepts as well as the reasons for the existence of this factor. The principal negative effects of the corruption influence on the state economic policy are provided. The authors determine the common and different features of all the definitions of corruption. The paper analyzes the definition for the concept of a state and public authority, and concludes that the public authority administrates the society on behalf of the nation on the entire state territory by means of the state apparatus, issues and implements general obligatory laws, and represents the state in foreign relations. The current condition of state anticorruption policy and the reasons of its inefficiency were analyzed. As the prospect for further research, the authors develop and propose a number of measures concerning the reduction of the impact of corruption on the state economic policy, which will contribute to the considerable part of economy to leave the shadow sector, and simultaneously consolidate a political component of state authority bodies.

HISTORICAL AND LEGAL GENESIS OF PREVENTION OF CORRUPTION AND SETTLEMENT OF CONFLICT OF INTERESTS OF LABOR-LEGAL MEASURES

The article explores the historical and legal genesis of the prevention of corruption and the resolution of conflicts of interest through labor and legal measures, since Ukraine's independence. The basic normative legal acts regulating labor and legal measures for prevention of corruption and settlement of conflict of interests in different historical periods are analyzed. The factors that determine the long-lasting historical and legal genesis of preventing corruption and resolving conflicts of interest are identified through labor-law measures.
 It was noted that in the first years of Ukraine's independence, the main documents regulating the fight against corruption were the Soviet Criminal Code and the Code of Administrative Offenses, as amended.
 It is rightly stated that international instruments-documents form the basis in the system of legal regulation of anti-corruption activity in Ukraine. However, as the author points out, it is not enough to ratify the basic international instruments, but more practical implementation of the principles and general principles defined in these acts is more necessary. In connection with the adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on May 14, 2013 of the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Implementation of State Anti-Corruption Policy" stay contrary to the requirements of the Law of Ukraine "On Principles of Prevention and Combating Corruption" in direct submission to a close person is recognized as the basis for termination of an employment contract at the initiative of the employer (paragraph 4 of Part 1 of Article 41 of the Labor Code of Ukraine). Thus, the anti-corruption legislation of Ukraine has been repeatedly amended in order to improve it and bring it in line with international standards.
 The author noted that the anti-corruption reform will receive a new impetus this fall after the start of the newly elected parliament, which will adopt, first of all, the anti-corruption strategy of the state, which society expects from 2017.

СУЧАСНІ ПІДХОДИ ДО ПРОБЛЕМ РЕФОРМУВАННЯ АНТИКОРУПЦІЙНИХ ДЕРЖАВНИХ ОРГАНІВ В УКРАЇНІ

Problems of prevention and fight against corruption are important priorities in the state policy of Ukraine. This phenomenon, like corruption, impedes the reform of modern Ukrainian society, worsens the socio-economic situation of the state, affects negatively all spheres of the life of a national society. One of the priority directions and strategies in the state anti-corruption policy is the creation and development of innovative anti-corruption institutions. One of the important foundations for the formation of such innovative institutions is their independence, professionalism, systemicity, legitimacy, legality, etc. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor, the State Investigation Bureau, the National Agency for the Detection, Investigation and Asset Recovery of Corruption and Other Crimes, and the Highest Anticorruption Court were established during 2015-2018. At the same time, the effectiveness of anti-corruption policy is not yet. According to experts, the anti-corruption authorities have a selective approach to the identification of suspects and political interdependence, a certain dependence on the influence of representatives of financial-industrial groups and political-ruling elites and, accordingly, the possibility of their use to persecute political opponents. Among other shortcomings of the fight against corruption in Ukraine, foreign experts point out the lack of professionalism, inexperience and lack of independence in the decision-making of the leaders and ordinary staff of NABU and SAP. Serious doubts raise the justification for replacing the criterion of professionalism with the criterion of new faces in the formation of the state of NABU and other anti-corruption bodies, their excessive activity in the media, to hide the lack of real results, public scandals and corporate wars between the old (primarily the Prosecutor General's Office) and new Anti-corruption institutions, which leads to a conflict of jurisdiction and worsens the performance of activities. The problem of streamlining and optimizing the subjects of prevention and counteraction to corruption in order to implement the effective and effective state anti-corruption policy, reducing the manifestations of corruption in Ukraine, is being activated today. In our opinion, rationalization and optimization of anti-corruption bodies of state power should be carried out according to the following algorithm: formation of a problem field - in particular, raising the level of anti-corruption culture, forming preventive mechanisms for the prevention of corruption; carrying out reengineering of anti-corruption bodies of state power; reforming anti-corruption bodies of state power. Equally important is the problem of the formation of a professional corps of anti-corruption bodies of state power on the one hand, and the impartial and transparent formation of the leadership of anti-corruption bodies, regardless of the policy of the state - on the other hand. The analysis provides the basis for determining the following clusters of problems of the formation and development of anti-corruption institutions of state power. First, there is no single concept for the formation and development of anti-corruption bodies in Ukraine. Secondly, the lack of specially trained specialists, who would be knowledgeable not only in law issues but also in the formation and development of public policy, were able to conduct financial audits, collate and analyze data. That is, there was an urgent need to form a generation of specialists of anti-corruption bodies of state power. Thirdly, there is no system for auditing the effectiveness and effectiveness of the anti-corruption institutions itself. Thus, the state spends a lot of money and resources on the creation and development of anti-corruption institutions than the funds and resources provided by such bodies of state power. Fourthly, there are no real mechanisms for punishing corruption offenses. Fifthly, there is no institution of voluntary confiscation of funds provided that it is impossible to explain the origin of the stakes. This would allow offenders to avoid or mitigate criminal liability. Sixth, the Highest Anticorruption Court does not work so far, dampening all the efforts of other anti-corruption institutions.

Anti-corruption at the level of the federal district: organisational and legal aspects (on the example of the Volga Federal District)

This article analyses the main organisational and legal elements of combating corruption at the level of the federal district in their interrelation and interdependence. As an example, the experience of the Volga Federal District is indicated, which is very revealing for a number of reasons. The most important organisational and legal measures to combat corruption at the level of the federal district, issues of implementation of the state anti-corruption policy at the interregional level of government have been identifi ed. The structural elements of the anti-corruption mechanism in the Volga Federal District, which represent both state and non-state formations, are considered. In the end, it was concluded that the existing organisational and legal mechanism for ensuring the implementation of anti-corruption policy of the state and combating corruption in the Volga Federal District in general corresponds to the pressing problems and tasks in this statesignifi cant area, is optimal and effective.

АНТИКОРРУПЦИОННАЯ ЭКСПЕРТИЗА МУНИЦИПАЛЬНЫХ НОРМАТИВНЫХ ПРАВОВЫХ АКТОВ: СОСТОЯНИЕ И ПОИСК ОПТИМАЛЬНЫХ РЕШЕНИЙ

Статья посвящена анализу современного состояния института антикоррупционной экспертизы муниципальных правовых актов и их проектов в Российской Федерации. Антикоррупционная экспертиза является одним из направлений государственной антикоррупционной политики. В России за достаточно короткий срок сформирована правовая основа для проведения антикоррупционной экспертизы, однако имеются некоторые недостатки в правовом регулировании антикоррупционной экспертизы муниципальных нормативных правовых актов и их проектов, что порождает проблемы при ее осуществлении. К сожалению, следует признать, что законодатель не уделяет должного внимания вопросам противодействия коррупции на муниципальном уровне. Базовый Федеральный закон от 6 октября 2003 г. № 131-ФЗ «Об общих принципах организации местного самоуправления в Российской Федерации» содержит лишь небольшое количество норм, регламентирующих антикоррупционную деятельность и только в части вопросов местного значения всех типов муниципальных образований. Правовые и организационные основы антикоррупционной экспертизы нормативных правовых актов и проектов нормативных правовых актов в целях выявления в них коррупциогенных факторов и их последующего устранения содержатся в Федеральном законе от 03 июля 2009 года №172-ФЗ «Об антикоррупционной экспертизе нормативных правовых актов и проектов нормативных правовых актов», применение норм которого вызывает больше вопросов, нежели ответов. Так, например, возникает вопрос о правомочности органов государственной власти субъектов РФ проводить антикоррупционную экспертизу муниципальных нормативных правовых актов, поскольку в качестве субъектов ее проведения они в законе не называются. 
 В результате анализа действующей правовой базы и правоприменительной практики автор выявляет имеющиеся недостатки в институте антикорруционной экспертизы, выявляет их основные причины и предлагает пути их решения.

Методологічні особливості розробки та реалізації регіональної антикорупційної стратегії

The article reveals the theoretical approaches to the strategic management of the development of the region of anticorruption purposes. The methodology of implementation and implementation of the strategic process is outlined. It is noted that the development of a regional anti-corruption strategy requires a clear methodological toolkit based on the theory of strategic management. The essence-content content of the definition of "regional anti-corruption strategy" was explored: author's definition of a regional anti-corruption strategy as a document defining the goals, tasks, principles, priorities and rules of procedure for local executive authorities, local self-government bodies and civil society institutions related to the promotion of anti-corruption initiatives in the region, and the implementation of state anti-corruption policy at the regional level ensure the reduction of corruption in sih spheres of public life. Features of development of regional anti-corruption strategy are revealed. The model of functional decomposition of the processes of formation and implementation of the regional strategy is presented. The model structure of the regional anti-corruption strategy, which should be integrated into the comprehensive strategy of socio-economic development of the region, is determined; The main sections and content of the regional anti-corruption strategy as part of the strategy of integrated socio-economic development of the region are presented, aimed at systematically implementing reforms in various spheres of public life based on the principles of transparency and ideology of "serving the people." Taking into account the results of the generalization and classification of management principles and the specifics of strategic planning of the development of regions, principles are to be taken into account when forming a regional anti-corruption strategy. The logic of the strategic planning process is systematically presented, which should be the basis for the implementation of anti-corruption initiatives. In order to create an effective anti-corruption mechanism, an algorithm for forming a platform of conditions that provides the effectiveness of the regional anti-corruption strategy and the effectiveness of the anti-corruption tools is defined.
