Abstract


In connection with the ambiguous fight against corruption in Ukraine, consideration of the dynamics of this phenomenon becomes a critical task. The purpose of the study is to analyze the dynamics of the fight against corruption in Ukraine, to identify challenges and achievements, as well as to propose effective strategies for overcoming this social phenomenon. The research uses a combined methodological approach, including structured surveys, analysis of the Corruption Perception Index, thematic analysis of literature, that is, quantitative and qualitative methods of study. Taking into account the results of United States Agency for International Development surveys and the analysis of the Corruption Perception Index, the study is aimed at revealing the essence of challenges, achievements and possible ways to overcome corruption manifestations. The results revealed a variety of challenges facing Ukrainian society in the fight against corruption, including bureaucratization, unfinished judicial reform, political interference, and a weak institutional framework. Despite this, the work reveals the dynamics of the perception of corruption, analyzes achievements and highlights key aspects that should be taken into account in the development of strategies to overcome this phenomenon. The conclusion emphasizes the need for a systematic rethinking of approaches to combating corruption in Ukraine. The proposed strategies and recommendations can serve as a basis for further actions of the authorities and the public in the formation of an effective anti-corruption policy.
