The prevention and settlement of conflict of interest as ways to deal with internal threats of economic security and improvement of public administration

Abstract

The article is devoted to problems related to the notion of «conflict of interests» in the civil service and corruption manifestations in this regard. The main reasons common to different countries, and specific, Russian, reasons for corruption are identified. The system of regulation of the conflict of interests is proposed in accordance with the world practice. In modern Russia, the problems associated with corruption manifestations in the public sector are being given great attention. It became particularly evident that the existing corruption relations in the state are a difficult barrier to overcome, seriously impeding the development of modern society. The solution of the problem related to the conflict of interests in the state civil service will allow ensuring confidence in the authorities and will improve the efficiency of the public administration system as a whole. Such trust can be formed and confirmed at any time by the fact that in everyday activities a civil servant does daily in public view in accordance with his official duties and the requirements of the regulatory and legal framework of the Russian Federation.
