DIGITALIZAREA SERVICIILOR PUBLICE CA MIJLOC DE ATENUARE A CORUPȚIEI ÎN ADMINISTRAȚIA PUBLICĂ

Abstract

The digitalization of public services is a phenomenon that has generated growing interest in the vast majority of the world’s countries, whether they are democratic and liberal regimes or regimes that impose various social, political or economic restrictions on their citizens. With this in mind, in this article we will try to analyse how the digitalization of public services can reduce the phenomenon of corruption, in the context of the European Union. To this end, we propose, as the basis of the article, a real statistical analysis of the European Union countries that joined after 2004, taking into account the fact that the vast majority of these countries had undemocratic regimes, in which the phenomenon of corruption was considered a „quasi-normality”.
