Abstract

A study has been carried out on the evolution in recent years (2009-2018) of the interaction between citizens and public administrations in the European Union, as well as the relationship between transparency and e-government. It is also analysed whether those countries where the development of e-government is greater have more transparency and less corruption. The existence of a directly proportional relationship between corruption, measured through the corruption perception index (the higher the value of the index, the less corruption), and the development of e-government has been confirmed. On average, the greater the transparency in the management of public resources in the governments of the European Union, the lower the public's perception of corruption. This ratio is higher in 2009 than in 2018, so that the effect of e-government on corruption attenuates over time, showing that more factors need to be considered in order to explain the perception of corruption.
