Abstract Corruption is a recurring phenomenon throughout history, so different conceptions seek to formulate a concept that defines it. This theoretical essay aims to introduce a perspective that broadens the understanding of corruption beyond the currents of thought that prevail in studies about Brazilian public administration. This study indicates that the epistemic reconstruction of the meaning of corruption should derive from the conception of public interest as a result of deliberative processes between citizens and the State. Such perspective contributes to the debate about the importance of participation of the civil society in controlling corruption and creating public interest itself. This study also highlights that more efficient control is not only restricted to legislation reforms but it also relies on the enhancement civic virtues.

E-government is a form of public administration which promotes efficiency, openness and transparency of public authorities and local governments with the use of information and telecommunications technologies to form a new type of state focused on meeting the needs of citizens. E-government is studied as a way, a form, the concept, system and mechanism of cooperation between the state (public administration) and public sectors (civil society). As a method for legal communication between civil society and public administration, e-government plays the role of a means of public self-government, which involves interactivity and continuity of interaction between citizens and the state, the presence of public control over the activities of public authorities. This article is dedicated to reveal the role of e-government for realizing the goals of legal communication between its participants in public life. However, further in-depth analysis requires understanding the role of e-government as a means of legal communication, changing the focus and direction of its development in the digital age, as well as exploring promising areas of legal regulation of virtual legal relations between public authorities and civil society. The implementation of e-government in Ukraine should be provided on a qualitatively new level to develop efficient legal communication between government and society as a whole, strengthen confidence in the state and its policies, improve cooperation between public authorities and local governments, business, citizens and civil servants. The authors of this article adhered to its purpose, which is to analyze the understanding of the role of e-government as a means of legal communication, changing the focus and direction of its development in the digital age, and exploring promising areas of legal regulation of virtual legal relations between government and civil society.

The ways of development and structural changes of the Ukrainian society also affected the public administration, which should gradually be transformed into a more open one in the dialogue with the civil society, to become public. Public administration, if it is effective, must fully provide, satisfy, and regulate the activities of society, state institutions, local governments, civil society institutions, labor collectives, and so on. In addition, it is also important to say that the changes and transformations that take place in management affect the development of new principles of management itself in practice, and the modern perception and use of social values in the management process. The outlined changes and transformations determine and, in some way, promote the processes of effective approach to the problems of research of modern directions of formation, development and comprehension of managerial culture. Mostly, this process is related to the real life of society, the state, government agencies, civil society institutions, effective social cooperation between the state and civil society, and so on. In fact, the formation of the components of managerial culture, its place and role in public administration largely depend on these factors. We understand managerial culture as a socio-political phenomenon, which in the process of its formation, is structured into a sufficient public institution, which has an impact on management policy by the state, society, various groups, local communities, social organizations, etc. Hence, the importance of managerial culture increases, which is formed during a certain socio-historical time. We realize that a manager already has some established qualities of managerial culture. Its shaping, and subsequent formation, occurs in a variety of socio-cultural circumstances, the environment, are both organized and spontaneous. The professional activity and work of a public manager depends on it in many respects. Based on this, the tasks of studying managerial culture from the standpoint of new views of the transition to public administration; identification of perspective areas for both scientific and theoretical analysis, for practical application are crucially important today.

This paper examines an important feature of the night before the “New Dawn” – the phenomenon of state capture in South Africa. It is primarily interested in analyzing the civil society mobilization against such state capture, specifically the legal and organizational aspects. After exploring the phenomenon of state capture, this paper investigates the use of legal mobilization theory to describe and contextualize the organization of South African civil society against state capture, with attention to the more general phenomenon of corruption. Section One covers state capture, drawing on the 2017-2018 work of the academic network, the State Capacity Research Project, to analyze and attempt to give a definition of the term. It is argued here that the term serves to identify a particular political project, one extant during the Zuma administration and drawing a degree of its force from the apparent failure of black economic empowerment. Section Two outlines the civil society mobilization against the state capture project, noting two significant features of such mobilization: that it formed to a significant degree around legal actions and that these actions were undertaken by a second generation of post-apartheid public interest law organizations. Then, Section Three describes two significant and representative instances of such legal mobilization. The first consists of litigation engaged in by a second-generation South African public interest law organization, the Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution (CASAC), in order to ensure the impartiality of the national prosecuting authority. The second instance of litigation took place from 2009 in the social grants payments sector, aiming at ensuring the provision of social assistance, a socio-economic rights benefiting nearly one-third of the South African population. Section Four uses legal mobilization theory from socio-legal studies to explore in further depth the mobilization of law against corruption in South African society. Here, it is significant to make the distinction between institutional anti-corruption mechanisms and impact litigation on the one hand and collective legal mobilization against state capture on the other. The Conclusion offers some reflections on topics for further research including the place of business in the mobilization against state capture and the emergence of new civil society actors.
