Аnti-corruption mechanism and means of detinization in the social sphere

Abstract

The most effective means of overcoming corruption and the shadow economy, especially in the social sphere and public services, is to create effective and legitimate "rules of the game" (institutional framework) that would "naturally" legalize shadow (including corruption) funds circulating in the national socio-economic system. The subject of the article is theoretical and methodological principles and scientific and practical recommendations for determining the priorities and implementation of the anti-corruption mechanism in the social sphere. The goal is to develop an anti-corruption mechanism and means of de-shadowing in the social sphere. Objectives: to find tools aimed at developing the institutional environment for combating corruption, implementing a multi-level social insurance system in the field of administrative services, pensions, education, health care and other social spheres at all levels of governance. Methods of the system approach are used – at development of provisions of the anti-corruption mechanism of de-shadowing of relations in the social sphere and the system of public services. The following results were obtained: the use of the following anti-corruption strategies in the conditions of Ukraine was proposed: sanction – within which the principal determines the rigidity, periodicity, level of hierarchy for the application of sanctions; rotational – for each element of the hierarchy of power a certain period of time is determined during which he occupies his position, after this time the element leaves the hierarchy (resignation, transfer or transfer to another position by the decision of the management body, etc.); motivational – encouraging an element of the hierarchy to work in the legal field. To achieve the maximum effect, it is proposed to use all the three strategies in combination with the predominance of the most adequate one. Conclusions: The proposed means of overcoming corruption and the shadow economy in contrast to the already established ones and, as the practice has shown, ineffective measures in terms of income lustration, supervision of civil servants, standardization of duties, creation of additional government agencies and structures, etc., are justified. Methodological provisions of the approach, which is based on a combination of two components: institutional and corruption risk insurance are grounded. This allows to develop the institutional environment for combating corruption, to introduce a multilevel system of realization of social security functions in the field of administrative services, pensions, education, health care and other social spheres, aimed at cooperation between anti-corruption bodies and institutions de-shadowing socio-economic relations.
