Anti-Corruption Measures in Romanian Public Administration Reform

Abstract

Public administration reform in Romania remains a topical and interesting topic, with citizens interacting with this system throughout their lives. The consulted literature launches a challenge to the scientific community, in the idea of identifying the impact of anti-corruption measures in the reform of the Romanian public administration. Even if the improvement of the administrative system is made in relation to the evolution of technology, the requirements of the beneficiaries and examples of good practice, the paper will highlight the impediments encountered in implementing such measures in the context of an administration in a permanent reform after the collapse of the communist regime. The paper will also highlight the relationship between citizens and the administration in terms of implementing anti-corruption measures, aimed at increasing transparency and, at the same time, the satisfaction and trust of citizens towards the leaders and the services provided.
