Institutional Mechanisms for Combating Corruption in the Public Service
In the article devoted to the study of institutional mechanisms for combating corruption in the public service, their author's concept and classification are proposed. The authors considered such anti-corruption mechanisms as declaring the property status of officials of various categories, preventing and resolving conflicts of interest, as well as ensuring compliance with prohibitions, restrictions and fulfilling duties established in order to combat corruption. At the same time, new cross-sectoral subinstitutions of anti-corruption legislation were analyzed. In addition, the authors differentiated the existing institutional mechanisms for combating corruption into traditional and fundamentally new ones based on the use of digital and information technologies, the use of which also allows us to unlock the potential of existing anti-corruption mechanisms. Taking into account the analysis carried out by the authors, in order to consolidate new institutional anti-corruption mechanisms, the directions of further improvement of the Russian anti-corruption legislation are proposed. The article emphasizes the growing role of conflict of interest in the development of modern legislation, which uses for legal regulation of heterogeneous social relations. It is noted that with an increase in the level of informatization, it becomes necessary to process large amounts of information, including various types of data, which become the foundation for the information systems, including those administered by humans. The scientific article proposes scientific and practical approaches that will be used to create a digital profile of a civil servant and also concludes that it is necessary to synchronize this work with activities to form a digital profile of an ordinary citizen. The authors conclude that a new institutional anti-corruption mechanism is emerging;it will consist of digital profiling, which will not only lay the foundation for the use of new digital technologies but also unleash the potential of existing mechanisms.
