Keywords:
Corruption, bribery, public administration, digitalization, civil society, international experience, legal reform, transparency.Abstract
This article scientifically examines the causes of corruption in the Republic of Uzbekistan, its socio-economic consequences, and effective mechanisms for combating it. Using comparative legal analysis, statistical data, reports from international organizations (Transparency International, UN, OECD), and Uzbekistan’s national legislation, conclusions are drawn. The anti-corruption experiences of Singapore, Hong Kong, and Denmark are analyzed in the context of Uzbekistan. The study demonstrates that digitalization of public services, strengthening civil society, and ensuring independent oversight bodies are key factors in reducing corruption.
