Abstract نظر به اهمیت موضوعات حساس و کلیدی در عصر حاضر در ارتباط با حکومت و حکمرانی که می تواند تأثیرات غیر قابل انکاری بر حوزه های مختلف از جمله فعالیت های ضدفساد داشته باشد، بر آن شدیم تا با انتشار ویژه نامه ای با عنوان «دولت الکترونیک به مثابه ابزاری علیه فساد»، این موضوع را یک بار دیگر در سطح نظری و در مقابل دیدگان افراد علاقه مند به این قبیل بحثها، به تصویر بکشیم. اگرچه دولت ها و دستگاههای نظارتی، تجربه های خویش را برای استفاده دیگران در معرض تجربه خوانی های علمی و عملی قرار می دهند و حجم گسترده ای از این تجربه ها، هر روزه در نوشته ها و مکتوبات سازمانی و دانشگاهی، نظر محققان و دیوان سالاران را به خود جلب می کند، اما هر از چندی لازم است تا این دست نوشته ها به صورت دست چین هایی از تجربه دیگران، در مجموعه ای واحد و به فراخور مخاطبان، گرد آوری شود تا گوشه ای از این تجربه گستری های وسیع را به نمایش گذارد. ویژه نامه حاضر با این هدف، چند بحث منتخب از چند کشور را به عنوان نمونه هایی عملی از فعالیت های ضدفسادی مترتب بر تقویت دولت الکترونیک، تقدیم خوانندگان می نماید.

Abstract Corruption is an impediment for development and good governance. It is more than true especially in the least developed countries (LDC), and emerging and development economies (EDE). Academics have given strong attention on corruption since last couple of decades. In this modern information age Information and Communication Technology (ICT) becomes almost compulsory in daily life. E-governance is the by-product of ICT. Effort of this study is to see e-governance as an anticorruption tool. Cases of Republic of Korea i.e., the OPEN system and the GePS will be analyzed as example. This article will identify the successful actors and factors of Republic of Korea emphasizing on stakeholder mapping through explain how e-governance help to curb corruption.

This paper achieved its objectives by adopting the descriptive analytical approach in addition to using a quantitative method in the form of structured questionnaire.

Abstract E-government is recognized as a tool for improving transparency and openness in the public sector and for combating corruption. Understanding the relationship between e-government development and the level of corruption would allow for a more effective leveraging of related projects in anti-corruption efforts. This paper examines the impact of e-government development on the level of corruption in the context of economic perspective. In contrast to previous studies, this empirical relationship is measured across sub-indices (dimensions) of related indices between Y... T and Y.19. The results show that higher levels of e-government development are related to lower levels of corruption. The three most important dimensions found are the environment sub-index, which assesses the extent to which a country's market conditions and regulatory framework support entrepreneurship, innovation, and ICT development; the usage sub-index, which assesses the level of ICT adoption by a society's main stakeholders, and the telecommunication infrastructure sub-index measuring a country's ICT infrastructure capacity. Following these findings, certain ways of influencing of the level of corruption by a stimulation of concrete e-government development dimensions can be drawn. This is important especially in the time of a financial crisis and its consequences, which are also discussed in this paper.

Abstract In this paper, the theoretical analysis of administrative corruption has been systematically reviewed. It begins with a brief history of administrative corruption in the world and Iran. Subsequently, the conceptual, definitions and types of administrative corruption as well as the classification of administrative corruption are schematically discussed. Finally, according to the researches and available literature, the factors generating administrative corruption including formation and resonance factors are summarized in six main factors. Then, the set of these factors are explained by some theories in three macro-level such as anomie theory, mid-level theories, and their stress on factors affecting the rise of corruption in the three sectors of economy, government and organization, and micro-level theories such as the wickedness of corruption or the culture of corruption. The claim theoretical of this paper is that the aforementioned theories are highly capable of explaining the problem of administrative corruption in Iran.

Abstract Kazakhstan has made progress in economic and social development, but it struggles with systemic corruption. Its leadership has acknowledged the depth of the problem. An ambitious e-government program is underway that is designed to simplify processes, reduce documentation, eliminate queues, and limit interactions between citizens and officials that create opportunities for bribery. Although the initiative is still too new to gauge its full impact, we examine online forums, news coverage, and third-party reports to offer a preliminary judgment. Indications are that e-government is reducing petty corruption, but it needs to be part of a larger package of anticorruption measures.

Abstract E-governance has gained popularity in recent years, with many countries resorting to information communications technology (ICTS) to modernise government, increase efficiency and improve public service delivery. As an additional benefit, ICTs are also expected to reduce corruption by promoting transparency, opening government data to public scrutiny, and by automating government processes, restricting discretion of officials and limiting citizens' interaction with gatekeepers to access key services. Despite these high expectations and massive investments in e-government, evidence of impact is mixed and limited and there is a high rate of failure of e-government projects, due to contextual factors as well as the type of the ICT interventions. This Helpdesk answer provides an overview of recent literature on the role of ICTs and government to combat corruption in key government processes such as procurement, taxation, human resource management, open data and service delivery.
