The dissertation is devoted to the theoretical and practical solution of the scientific problem of improving state mechanisms for preventing corruption in state institutions in the context of economic security. In the work, a conceptual and categorical apparatus of scientific research was formed by defining concepts such as "corruption", "prevention of corruption", "mechanisms of state management to prevent corruption in authorities". The theoretical foundations of the formation of state management mechanisms for combating corruption in government bodies have been revealed and practical recommendations for their improvement have been developed. The codification of the principles of management and anti-corruption made it possible to determine the functioning and practical work of administrative mechanisms.
The purpose of the research is to substantiate the theoretical and conceptual principles and scientific and applied recommendations for improving the mechanisms of state management to prevent corruption in public authorities in the context of economic security.
The object of the study is the processes of formation and implementation of systemic approaches to the prevention of corruption in public authorities in the context of economic security.
