E-governance and Corruption Perception: Global Insights and Ukraine’s Context During War and Displacement

Abstract

This study explores the intricate relationship between e-governance and corruption perception using the E-Government Development Index (EGDI) and Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) data. Ukraine’s legal landscape is examined, highlighting efforts to enhance public administration transparency. This study underscores the role of citizens in fostering e-governance and reducing corruption and crime. Comparative analyses challenge assumptions about income and e-governance, while “smart grids” and digitalization emerge as solutions to energy challenges in Ukraine. Ultimately, this study illuminates the transformative potential of e-governance and its significance in modern governance paradigms during wartime and in situations involving a large number of displaced people.
