ANTI-CORRUPTION POLICY AND ACTIVITY
Abstract
Objective: to draw attention to the issue of anti-corruption policy as a function of control and conceptually legal basis of administrative activity in the sphere of corruption counteraction. Methods: systemic thinking, synergistic approach, comparative analysis. Results: the basic definition of anti-corruption policy has been developed, the criteria (bases) of delineation of anti-corruption policies and anti-corruption activities have been developed. Scientific novelty: for the first time the largely corrected definition of anti-corruption policy is given, the correlation of the "anti-corruption policy" concept with the term "anti-corruption activities" is considered; the typical "political" signs are outlined; it is suggested that the conceptual-legal frameworks of anti-corruption policies should be developed. Practical value: scientific substantiation of provisions of administrative activity in the crime counteraction opens the possibility of a scientific debate on this issue and allows to optimize the functioning of the entire governmental system.
