Abstract

The article highlights  the approaches  to  understanding  of  corruption,  among which  are  legal, political-economic,  systemic  and  functional  ones.  The  author  understressed  that  on  defining  the essence of  this phenomenon depends a state's anti-corruption policy. It  is shown  that  in contrast  to international  institutions  and  their  contemporary  acts  which  treat  corruption  widely  and recommending  to  fight  it  using  numerous  direct  and  indirect  instruments  (such  as  establishing control  on  political  parties,  on  public  finance  and  governmental  procurements  both  as  reforming public  service  or  involving  civil  society  in  decision-making  processes), Ukrainian  anti-corruption policy more than 20 years was based on approach of criminalization of corruption, what caused its ineffective concentration in the system of law enforcement and justice.
