АNTICORRUPTION POTENTIAL OF CIVIL SOCIETY INSTITUTES

Abstract

The article states the need of transferring from the paternalistic system of state management to the practice of social contract between citizens and authorities. The variants (models) of transition to the state of social control are provided. It is reasonably substantiated that under the conditions of democracy and developed market system attempts to build effective and sustainable state of the paternalistic basis have little chance of success and that corruption is incompatible with the observance of the principles of civil society and is always accompanied by a violation of its principles. An alternative to paternalistic design is a state of social contract between citizens and authorities, with total transparency of the work of the state in all spheres of life and with the institutions that help to use the expert potential of the civil society. The social contract itself can be more and more developed, more beneficial for all and more stimulating the process of building a welfare state.
