Abstract

"Effective digitalization of public administrations and economies requires rethinking of how e-government and digital services with increasing e-participation can support corruption reduction and social development. This paper aims to study the interdependencies and differences between the multidimensional phenomena of administrative corruption and digitalization in the EU member states. The research methods applied are Canonical Correlation Analysis and Principal Component Analysis. Ten relevant variables for 2019 and 2020 were selected and integrated into this research. The research results showed that digitalization significantly improved the quality of public administrations and reduced corruption. The new composite index designed and determined for EU member states showed a vast gap between the Nordic and Eastern European countries. Our results confirm that the level of e-government was found to be the best predictor of control of corruption and government effectiveness suggesting that digitalized and less corrupt governments also made economies more competitive. The digitization of public administration and services is a strategic objective of EU member states and should become a priority in the new technological era."

欧盟成员国的公共行政数字化与腐败。比较与相关研究分析”

“公共行政和经济的有效数字化需要重新思考电子政务和数字服务如何在电子参与度不断提高的情况下支持减少腐败和社会发展。本文旨在研究欧盟成员国行政腐败和数字化的多维现象之间的相互依存性和差异应用的arch方法有典型相关分析法和主成分分析法。选取了2019年和2020年的10个相关变量，并将其纳入本研究。研究结果表明，数字化显著提高了公共行政的质量，减少了腐败。为欧盟成员国设计和确定的新综合指数显示，北欧和东欧国家之间存在巨大差距。我们的研究结果证实，电子政务的水平被发现是控制腐败和政府有效性的最佳预测指标，这表明数字化和更少腐败的政府也使经济更具竞争力。公共行政和服务数字化是欧盟成员国的战略目标，应成为新技术时代的优先事项。“

期刊介绍： TRAS represents a collective effort initiated by an international group aimed at boosting the research in the field of public administration in a country where during the communist regime there was no tradition in this sense. TRAS represents a unique source of specialized analysis of the ex-communist space, of the transition processes to democracy, of the reform of public administration, and of comparative analysis of administrative systems. The general topic covered by the articles in the Review is administrative sciences. As a result of an interdisciplinary, modern approach, the articles cover the following specific themes: Public management, public policy, administrative law, public policy analysis, regional development, community development, public finances, urban planning, program evaluation in public administration, ethics, comparative administrative systems, etc. TRAS encourages the authors to submit articles that are based on empirical research. From the standpoint of the topic covered, TRAS is lined up with the trends followed by other international journals in the field of public administration. All articles submitted to the Transylvanian Review of Administrative Sciences have to present a clear connection to the field of administrative sciences and the research (both theoretical and empirical) should be conducted from this perspective. Interdisciplinary topics related to organizational theory, sustainable development and CSR, international relations, etc. can be considered for publication, however the research needs to address relevant issues from the perspective of the public sector. Articles which use highly specialized econometrics models as well as studies addressing macro-economic topics will not be considered for evaluation. The decision on whether a certain topic falls within the interest of TRAS belongs to the editors and it is not connected with the overall quality of the work submitted.
